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...

I know it is a small issue but the metal cover on the 300 fells better than the plastic cover of others. One thing I noticed about the Kindle was how dirty it looked. My friend who owns it uses it all the time. She doesn't work and loves the wireless but the thing looked dirty. I cleaned it up some but I prefer the metal of the Sony. That was one comment from my friends..that both made. We wish ours had a more solid feel!..
I'm not bashing the others because I wouldn't mind having a Kindle but the size of the 300 makes me carry it more and use it more.
