1. You're comparing the last-generation font and margin options of the PRS-650 to the current-gen Nook ST.

2. You'd be able to do the same things and more with PRS+ on your PRS-650 as you can with the Nook ST. The processor and page refreshes are slower, but that's also because you're comparing two different generations of e-reader.

3. Those page and font selection options look great in-store, but wait until you get that Nook home and boot into the B&N home page, with endless advertising and oppressive graphics. Root it and you're fine -- otherwise, get used to it.

4. Take that ergonomically pleasing Nook, put it in a case and, suddenly, what had felt like an almost ideally designed e-reader gets cumbersome and unwieldy. No wonder B&N were the first company to make front lighting catch on -- it was that or listen to complaints about cover bulk due to the curved shape and varied depth of the Nook ST combined with the additional width created by a third-party add-on light. It's like carrying around a clipboard stacked with papers and pens.

Meanwhile, Sony readers have always had thin form factors, and covers with unobtrusive built-in lights that don't drain the readers' batteries.

It's the soon-to-be released generation of e-readers I'll have to compare to the T2, not the ones that exist currently.
