Upgraded from a Nook ST this week. I love it. I like the big bezel for easy holding and the page turn buttons. Even with a clip on light, reading my ST at night was still too harsh on my eyes. This with the color temp adjustments fits the bill. I just wish more covers were out already.

I don't quite understand the complaining over the side loading limit. This is a BN device, you should be happy they give you any space for side loading at all. This is still more open than an Amazon device since it reads epubs and you aren't stuck with mobi.

I side load a lot of content, and the 1 gig isn't going to be a problem for me. Hell, having half of that on my ST was never a problem. The device just isn't going to keep up trying to index over a gig of books. Heh, when my friend stuck a 4 gig SD card full of books into his ST, the OS crapped itself. I ended up just using the SD card I bought for my Nook ST for something else, so lack of a microSD on the 3 doesn't mean anything to me either.

To me, it's an epub reader with a great rez and night screen. I wouldn't want to sideload my entire library of epubs onto it anyway, even if I could. Has the features I want for considerably less $$ than the Kobos, plus the nice fat bezel the Kobos lack. I'm very happy with it already.

edit: Also, I don't understand what kinda lunatic tries to read PDFs on an e-ink device. I use a full size, mid-range Samsung tablet for that.
