Update: So I finally got the money from my tax returns and am ready to buy an ereader. I was hoping to get the Sony 650 but Sony is out the 650s. I'm not paying $300 for the 950 (it's nice but not that nice) and I think the screen on the 350 is just too small for me. I admit though that the couple of times I played with the 350 in Borders, it worked really well. It was very fast and was very responsive and intuitive. I bid on a used Sony 650 on ebay. The auction still has two days left. I'm feeling hesitant though. I mean what if the item actually has some type of defect even though the seller says it is in good condition?
I know the refurbished Nooks are selling for a low price $89. That's a good price. I talked to my mother who thinks I should just get a new Nook. I've read that manufacturer refurbished still work like new but I dunno. I think I still have reservations about the getting a refurbished item as well.
Maybe I just have reservations about used electronics because I brought a used portable DVD that only works after hitting it and shifting it numerous times. Even then, it only works when it wants to. I wished I had just spent the extra money on a new one.
So anyway, I think I will go to B&N and Best Buy and try out both the Sonys and the Nook and see which one tickles my fancy and makes me feel good about buying it.
