Aww, this is a fun topic and I guess we all become passionate about our ereaders. I gave my 350 to my sister in anticipation of buying the Nook Touch and then I tried it out in the store and the screen didn't seem that much bigger then I remembered the 350 being and it looked like the bottom third was dedicated to BN trying to sell you books from their store. That's probably changeable, but it was a bit of a turn off. Maybe that's the shelves people with Nooks refer to?
The device felt nice in the hand and the page turns were quick and I liked that it had a TI processor(what can I say, I live less than 5 minutes from several TI facilities :-)), but when I thought about the features, I realized I wanted to listen to music while I listen to books without having to use a second device.
Much of my reading is done on the porch in the evening and it gets hot here and my phone is overclocked and overheats and becomes unstable pretty easily so it would be best not to bring it out into the heat. That and it had a bigger screen reliable pdf reflow(no idea if the NT had it since they didn't have a test pdf loaded into the one at the store.) and doesn't restrict side-loaded books in any way.
Sure it costs $60 more and I had to order it from another BB, but I still haven't got a call that the NT I reserved is available and keep forgetting to call them to cancel it. Must get on that some time.
