Yeah, I'm wishing that I had waited a year before picking up a new ereader. I ended up buying a Sony PRS-505 from B&N(lulz %$^&#^%#^&!!!) because I felt that the screen degradation with the touch film just wasn't worth it at the time, and THEN B&N popup with the nook about 7m later. (Kind of annoying since ebook devices had, basically, stagnated for for something like 6 or 7y.)
Then I heard of Spring Design's Alex, but I HAD been expecting it to come out at a competitive price, and now just laugh $400 for the Alex, right...
So it looks like all of you people who got the Nook made the right choice, although I'm really interested in that new e-ink only from Asus. Did you see how responsive the screen was from that E3 video? Although from what I can tell ATM it seems that a rooted Nook is MUCH more flexible.
(I still have grave reservations about the Sony. Non-easily replaceable batteries just aren't for me(which is why I'll also NEVER buy an Apple mobile product/notebook) as I'll like use the thing until I kill it now, which is why I was so hot to pick up a new reader last year as I had cracked the screen on my trusty Palm IIIx, my eBookman has the bad backup cap so it loses all content on batt change and I never bothered to pickup an MMC card for it, and my REB (RCA/Gemstar) died a few years ago so I was more or less SOL for a reader ATTM.)
