So many POVs about which to get.

The way I see it now is that if I get a Kindle Touch, I will have to sideload any unDRMed book with Calibre and enjoy Amazon buys in their original format. If I get the Nook ST, I will have to extract the books from the Kindle for PC app and unDRM and sideload them, unless I decide to root the device, install the Kindle app and live with the full and double page refreshes(which will eat up more battery life). Or I can use CoolReader instead of the Kindle app to read the unDRMed amazon books.

Damn it, both options seem equally attractive. And I won't consider the option of buying both and return one of them.

Someone should hack the Kindle app to make it eink friendly.
Can I sideload any unDRMed book to the Kindle Touch using Calibre?
