Just placed an order for the $149 nook Wi-Fi.

3G doesn't matter for me, either, since none of the nook's goodies are available over here, anyway.
I had been all set to get the Aluratek Libre for $120 from Borders, but I think $149 for the nook makes it the best overall value of any e-reader. I've always liked it, but didn't want to spend $259 for it (or any other reader). But this price was just irresistable.
Can't wait till get it...
