I snagged one of the $129 950s and I'm thrilled.
It's amazing how each device creates a hunger for the next one. I started reading on my Touch, no great shakes as a reading experience, but so handy when out and about. I was delighted with my Nook when I got it, but eventually started to lust for a device that would combine the portability of the Touch with the readability of the Nook. When the 350 hit $129, I went for it. My plan was that it would live in my purse and I'd continue to read on the Nook at home.
Loved the 350, but having it made me think that the ideal state would be to have a 5" reader for on the go and a 7" reader for at home. The 6" started to seem like a compromise (nothing wrong with that)--it was portable enough to carry and large enough for home, but not ideally suited for either job. It was moot, because at over $300 for the Kindle and the Sony 7" devices, there was no way one of those was in my future--especially with a perfectly serviceable Nook. Even the $189 price on the refurbed 950 didn't sway me. But $129? Mine now.
It's amusing I suppose that I've bought a 350 and a 950 (plus the cover with light for the 350 which was free with purchase) for $1 less than my Nook cost me not that long ago. This had better be it, however! How many ereaders can a girl justify?
