Was hesitant on the Nook STR, but ran into someone in CVG last night that had one that I could play with. Aside from left hand holding, buttons are nice to have just to prevent unnecessary screen touches.

Book selection is really a non-issue. Everything is purchased on my Mac, and de-DRM'd so that if I change platforms in the future (Kindle to Kobo to Nook) all my purchases still work. I buy online from the cheapest store, and remove DRM. Convert as required with Calibre, and have a library that works with any device now, or in the future. Don't want to be stuck with one store!

I still really like the style / design of the PRS-505. Wish they had an updated 505 at a Kobo price!
Book selection for most people is an issue drm or no drm. Unless you are using a US proxy (or in some cases a US address on your account) you are not getting a very good selection IMHO.

I only strip my Amazon books, but maybe i should srip them all...
