Any minor brand is likely to be forced to run their software development on a shoestring -- but I'd rather go with them than with a major brand who is shoveling money at developers to write more and more elaborate software that often seems more aimed at selling you books than at helping you read them.

I haven't used an eReader from the majors, but what I read in the Nook Simple Touch manual (which I looked at when evaluating my upgrade options) made me very nostalgic about my PB360. It also made me think that I'd happily pay a fairly substantial premium to get PB software running on the NST.
