Thanks for all of the advice everybody. I'm finding myself very indecisive, which is a little bit uncharacteristic of me and "gadgets." I have checked out the matrix and it provides lots of useful information, however I guess nothing really beats a hands-on perspective. I haven't checked out manuals though so maybe I'll do that to get some perspective on the UI's of the devices.

Also with respect to the pdf's; I think I've been reading the same things. It doesn't seem like any of the smaller devices do a very good job displaying pdf's. I guess if it came down to it good pdf support is secondary. I do read a lot for work but my main interest is for pleasure reading at home.

At this point I think that I'm going to stick with the Nook and evaluate it when I receive it on the 5th. That is unless Apple releases some earth shattering news tomorrow.

Thanks everybody.
