I’m not delusional. I’m not claiming the text on the STR rivals that of the latest devices. However, in the context of its age it’s excellent and in itself it’s still good enough for the purpose I have in mind and better than the current (slightly newer) device I’m using.
Back when I got my nook STR, I also had a PRS-650 and I found the text on the STR to be not nearly as good as that of the 650. IT was nothing to do with the screen but the font engine used by B&N vs. that used by Sony. It was a very noticeable difference when using the same font.
