Also if I still need something from the Kindle store in the future that no one else has. That and a recent billing issue with Amazon is starting to sour me on them in general to be honest. I've noticed I'm doing more of my buying in stores anyway. So I really need Amazon less and less other then for things that I certainly can't get in stores. Even then I've been using Amazon to buy from 3rd party sellers anyway.
Just deciding is an issue. Just need something faster, wifi browsing would be nice as I have found myself using the internet browser on the kindle from time to time when I'm out and need to look up something. Not the best thing in the world but served it's purpose. I figure a non-Kindle reader won't have that internet connection but wifi is all I need for the most part. There's always a McDonalds around after all. Some color would be nice but not a deal breaker. Don't require an iPad so that's out of the question and even then I'd rather have a netbook over that and being limited by Apple isn't appealing. I an iPod Touch and that's enough. PDF reading would be nice. Something with a bigger screen is desirable but not a deal breaker.
Can anyone make any recommendations or perhaps even redirect me a thread that covers this?

the Nook sounds like it would meet your needs, has wi fi along with 3G for wireless downloading. web browser, a little cumbersome but doable, but it's great to conncet in more wi fi hot spots, I found mobile websites works best, has the color touchscreen navigation and also displays color book cover art. It has gone through a series of firmware updates, the latest being v1.3 that has really enhanced it's performance and has dealt with earlier bugs.
If you have a Barnes and Noble near you the "in Store" expereince is truley alot of fun and great for bookstore lovers.
It's a solid e-reader, that is also alot of fun to have and use etc.
I strongly recommend it.
Plus right now you get a $50 Gift Cert. with a Nook purchase.
