I got a 350 on clearance for the portability. Much as I love my original Nook, it was bulky/heavy to cart around in my purse. Once I got the 350, however, I realized that the ideal state would be a 5" reader while on the hoof and a 7" reader while at home. The 6" size seems to me a compromise, not that there's anything wrong with that for the person who wants just one.

I was lucky enough to snag one of the refurbed 950s for $129 and I can't wait. The Nook will still be in play for my B&N content and it IS a far better ebookstore than the alternatives for ePub. Then I'm deviced out. Barring catastrophe, I should be able to sit out until the next generation or the one after.
