Funny enough, the new Nook Touch caused me to buy a Sony PRS-950.

I have a blog post planned on the subject, but basically it boils down to:

1. PDF support for my PDF books from NetGalley.
2. Landscape reading.
3. Web browsing (specifically, the Sony word-lookup-in-Wikipedia options).
4. Note/Highlight export.
5. B&N customer support experiences. (SUBJECTIVE ANECDATA TIME)

I don't much like Sony as a company, but they sure do make a nice device. I'm very happy with my new purchase.

Are USA users ('cause Nook Touch is being marketed in USA, not Europe) willing to pay 100 more for the extra features without wifi? I don't think so.
I actually paid $60 more (Best Buy sale), but yeah, I would have paid $100 more. If I can't read PDFs, I can't read half my library. And the Nook PDF approach is largely unreadable for me. Alas.
