Thanks for the input.

I went to a Borders today to demo the sony pocket and the nook, but they didn't have the nook

Also, no pdf files loaded onto it. But I did notice one thing, that 5" screen is tinier than I remember! This concerns me for the pdf scaling/zooming I forsee and the whole comic stuff.
But anything with an attractive screen (greater than 6") is way too expensive for my taste. And 5" for $199 seems a bit too much as well with the Pocketbook360

I don't think I can do the sony pocket when I can get a 6" screen in the Nook for the same price (and kindle for $40 more). And to my knowledge the kindle supports pdfs now? Price wise, I'm leaning toward the Nook (plus I'm an Android fanboy), but might have to shell out the extra $40 for the kindle since I believe there will be more updates to the firmware (hence even more pdf support) in the future.

Dammit I hate indecisions!!!!
