The contrast difference between the touch and non-touch Sonys was fairly subtle (under bright light).

Thanks for the reply. I'm completely new to this ereader thing. I bought a Kindle 2 for my wife for Christmas and decided to get an ereader for myself since I see her enjoying hers so much. I was leaning toward the Nook though, then the iPad was announced and I considered that until I found it weighs 1.5 pounds and cost half a grand. That's too heavy for using mainly as a reader. Then I read your post about the Sony which added a new reader for me to check out. I think would like the Sony with it larger touch screen more than the Nook but it may be just a little too pricey for me.
