Hi everyone,

I'm trying to decide on which ereader to buy. I really like the price and the form factor of the nook simple touch, but the kindle touch and sony t1 have it beat when it comes to ease of public library lending.

Both the kindle and sony have ways to check out library books without plugging the device into your computer. Call me lazy, but I will be using public library books heavily and will find it a pain to download the library book to my computer and then attach my nook to transfer the library book to it. The kindle allows you to check out your library book online and it automatically downloads to your device and the Sony allows you to check out books directly from your device.

I read in a random blog post (which I can't find now!) that nook was working on a solution for checking out books wirelessly and it was due to be updated this Spring with the new functionality.

Has anybody else heard anything about this update? Believe it or not, this feature is worth the $30 difference in price between the nook and Sony. If the feature will be here in a couple of months, I'll just buy the nook and wait. If not, I'll go with the Sony.

thanks for your help!
