Can't compare nook vs 900 vs 600. I am in spain and here we don't have of those I have to import from USA.
I like the 7 screen prs 900 but afraid of the glare and bad contrast. I have now in my hand a prs 600 from a friend and the screen is annoying I can't read well because of light and bad contrast and have to move my hand trying to read comfortable. So if the prs 600 screen is poor sure the 900 is the same

How many of u using the 900 have to move their hands or wrist to read conffortable?

I had a 600, but was too annoyed by reflections and poor readability in low light. I upgraded to the 900 and find it significantly better, still some reflections but easier to read without direct lighting. The 300 and 505 still have the best readability. Although I have a 505, a rarely use it as the 900 has been quite satisfactory.

Well seems the glare and contrast in 900 better that 600.
Well maybe I should buy it.
Anyone knows where to buy it online?

I would say it is probably the only proper way to buy it.

Both 500 and 505 that I have, I bought there, years before sony started to sell readers in the UK.

I can't speak to their international shipping abilities, but I have purchased a number of electronics from BH Photo and always very pleased with their service.

I watched the youtube video. The Nook is clearer and brighter, but it doesn't have the extra touch screen layer, so it is something like comparing the 300/505 to the 900. The 900 in the video is out of focus and not lit very well. I'm sure you could find better demonstrations of the 900 on youtube, including the excellent screen shots in this thread.

Watching this video, there is a horrible light on the screen and the contrast seems too white to read

Put one or more lights directly above any ereader and you have fun; maybe except 505.

Yes. I paid import tax. It was 21.5% in the UK. 17.5% VAT + 4% some sort of other tax.

More light? Now I have to buy the 900 and buy a light for the ereader? It have no sense buying a 39$ light for the ereader
