I have a PRS-300 and a nook. They both have pluses, but for the money the Sony is a really solid reader with a great screen and awesome battery life. The screen on the nook is also great, and it has more flash, but the battery life is horrible compared to the Sony. My wife ordered me the nook for Christmas, and when the delays started, she got me the Sony PRS-300 for $179 at Best Buy so I had a gift for Christmas Morning. Now I have two eReaders. I use the Sony at work because it feels way more durable than the nook, so the nook stays home and gets pampered. My wife wanted an ereader as well, and given the choice between the nook and the Sony, she chose the Sony! So, now we have two Sony's and a nook eReader. Knowing what I know now, and given the opportunity to do it all over again, I'd go with the Sony over the nook...
