I am having a hard time deciding which Nook to purchase: the first one (original/wifi/first edition/first generation etc) or the new touch one.

I love the new touch because I can, well, touch the screen. It seems like it will be easier to highlight and make notes in the book with the touch screen. I don't like that there is no audio. I like that it has the e-ink pearl which looks much better than the older e-ink technology. It is smaller and more compact which I like, as well.

I love the original because I like the little color touch screen at the bottom and the fact that it can do audio. I also like that it has the games for a little break activity. I have never purchased or listened to an audio book but I like the option of being able to. However, it seems that bookmarking and highlighting the text might be more challenging.

So which is better???

Does anyone know of anything new coming out that will have e-ink pearl technology, touch screen, audio, and under $200?
