I think the OP was saying he wants E-ink. And while I love my NC, my only complaint is that it's really heavy, I've never used it without CM7 so it's UI may suck bagels(to coin a phrase) and I'd never know.

So Smoke and Mirrors, I think you will probably love whichever one you buy so long as you know what to expect. I loooveed my Sony 350 so much I gave/sold it to my little sister so she could have an ereader and bought a 950. I also bought an old Sony 300 for my grandmother and am probably going to give my parents each one of the new Sony T1s for Christmas(if I can get my siblings to contribute and it gets good reviews). Now, from this you might say that I'm a bit Sony-centric and you'd be right. I love collections and no restrictions on side-loading and have so far managed to avoid most DRM. I've bought 2 books from major publishers (with DRM) and checked out many library books, but everything else comes from DRM-free sources so you can avoid DRM if you want to and don't want to read any of the major publishers' books that aren't available through the library.
