I just returned a Sony 950 to Best Buy Tuesday and used those funds to buy a Kobo Touch at my local Borders yesterday. While I mostly loved the 950, including its larger screen size and 2 page mode in landscape, I decided to return it for the Kobo. The primary reasons were the new Kobo is $70 cheaper, and for how responsive the developers are on the forums. Plus the frequent firmware updates. I thought I would be interested in the Nook Touch, but after playing with one in store, I lost interest. Didn't really like the look or form factor, and I thought the text got ragged after each page turn (until the full page refresh occurs). Once firmware 1.9.5 came out adding more font sizes, margin & line spacing, and the ability to add more fonts..I was sold.

So far I like it..just wish there some M-Edge covers that fit the new Kobo, so I can use my M-Edge Touch booklight.
