By the way, does anyone know how fast the page turn speed is comparing to the PRS 650?
And the new covers, don't they look cool & super thin/light? I wonder how well they can protect the Nook.. ( http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/clip...=9780594467960)

The screen appears to be stronger but I really cant say for sure as I've only had it for 36 hours. The page turns are very quick, quicker than my 650. The B&N near me was sold out of the covers so I was unable to purchase one to test out. If you are looking to upgrade and the Nook appeals to you then I say go for it. It is lighter than any ereader I own or know of and the coating is a nice soft touch that makes it good for marathon reading sessions. There are other ereaders that read epub that I like as well but the Nook has a very nice price point and doesn't force ads on you for that 119.00 price tag. If you live near a B&N I highly recommend going in and checking it out in person.
