If you had the opportunity to test out every ereader ever manufactured before making a final decision, then I have to say that I'm pretty dang envious of the shops in your neighborhood.

Yeah, I don't really think you can test drive a PocketBook 360 in the US, unless ya'll want to come over to my house.
And, I mean, if I'd judged my Sony based on the in-store experience, well, I wouldn't have paid $200 for it. The collections and PDF support make it for me, and you can't see that in the store.
The Kindle... I've used once. I don't feel like it's wrong for me to say, "Meh, keyboards. Not for me." And move on.
I know other people feel that way about the glowing N1 LCD screen.
Hands on experience is nice, but not the be-all/end-all, at least not for me.
