On the other hand, maybe it would be more interesting to get one of those:
Onyx Boox C63M Marco Polo
Onyx Boox C63ML Magellan
Instead of Nook ST?
Or indead instead of the new Nook.

They have 6" Pearl HD screens, open android - no hacking needed, buttons.
I think Marco Polo might be without the integrated light, so I want it, not Magellan which has the light. But Marco Polo seems to be heavier.
Hm.
Magellan is similar to the new Nook, but better:
both have the same screen, both glowing, but Magellan has 8 GB of memory + SD card instead of 500 MB. And it has buttons. And you don't have to worry about hacking it: it is already rooted out of the box.

Turns out, Magellan has exactly the same screen as Kindle PW (1st gen) -including the integrated light.
So, if the new Nook has better screen or better light than PW1, then not the same as Magellan.
