Also, I've found that search is useful for getting around organizational/lack-of-go-to-page issues. I still might take the nook back (I have over a week left before 14 days is up) in favor of the $199 505 I found at a local store, but it will be a tough choice (I don't want to have to change the Sony's battery when it comes time, yeesh).

At one point I was thinking about soft rooting it, but the terrible power management just really turns me off and I made the decision to go back to my Sony PRS505 when I get home from an extended business trip. After I made that decision I just never got around to doing the soft root. I guess I still could. There's nothing stopping me.
