I love the feature on the 900. Beats the hell out of the Nook in my world and I don't feel as tied down to something as the Kindle. The 900 is a great reader for sure!

The K2 and Nook both have better screens just like the PRS300 because they chose to use alternate methods to make screen selections (highlighting, dictionary lookup, searches, etc.) than Sony did with the PRS900. I owned the K2 but was put out by the Amazon formats. I went and played with a Nook, but it was sluggish and certainly not ready for release. I love the screen on my PRS300, but it really has almost no bells and whistles.
At $400 the PRS900 is rather pricey. But to me it was worth it as it actually comes with a cover that I like, an AC charger, and a really nice Case Logic zippered case to provide extra protection when taveling. I do wish Sony would either improve the touch screen so that it does not add glare or in any way degrade the text, or that they would develop another mechanism for selecting and entering text.
