I'm curious about the 3G feature I hear about. I believe its available to both Nook and Sony. But is it just a gimmick and you need a cellular account (I don't presently own a cell phone is why I ask)? Or do they connect to that network for free?

Thanks a lot for all your continued help. I will diffinatly check the Nook and Both the Sony 600 and 900 when I goto Best Buy next. However I will not purchase the Nook from Best Buy since they are only offering a 25 dollar card and the actual store is offereing a 50 dollar gift card. That is depending on which one I finally settle for.


I misspoke in my last post the Sort feature is by "Author", Title" and Most Recent (not last read) sorry.

3G is not a gimmick it is free on both devices. I find it great when I'm out and about and just buy the newspaper on the train and have it ready to read in less than 30 seconds, that's pretty sweet.
Downloading and purchasing wirelessly is a feature you'll soon discover is one that is soo much more convienant and worthwhile then you may originally think. Even just plain old shopping on line. Being on barnes and noble.com and just clicking buy and have it almost instanously without having to hook it up to the computer is just remarkable.
Also the Nook has Wi Fi, which is great because Wi fi is faster than 3G and can hook up at any Wi Fi Hot spot. I'm not sure if the Sony has wi fi.


Best Buy is weird, it's flyers say $25 Gift Cards but online it's $50
