Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm going to trade-in mine for a 650. The $75 credit and the current sale price practically makes it a must have. With the Nook Color I've decided to pass on the wireless features offered by the 950.

After looking at the 950 I can't pick up my 900 anymore. It's no longer enjoyable, constantly mumbling about the NOTICEABLE glare and lack of contrast adjustment. Funny how a few weeks ago these weren't issues.

SCION, I had to smile at your post. The glare on the 900 was never an issue for me like some people. And, the 900 contrast was much better than the 600 & 700. However, I definitely notice these issues now after using the 950! I am seriously liking the better touch screen sensitivity and the fact that I only have limited need for the stylus now.

What encouraging discussion! For what you and SCION said, more and more I am eager to get a 950. Taking your example, I want to pass on my 900. However, I am not sure how to do it. As I am going to US early December, I am buying both Nook Color and 950 (as I have already said), and yet I would like to trade in my 900 for a 350 or 650 for my wife. Do you know where could I do it in Miami?

There's a Sony Style store in Miami if that's what you're interested in. They take trade-ins on the spot for instant credit. You'll receive a $75 credit toward the purchase of any Reader.

Gleidson,

Given the prices of Sony Products in Brazil, you should sell the 900 there instead of getting only $75 for a trade in.

No, THX for trade-in for only $75! As said by advocate2, indeed it may well be worth my while to deal it here in Brazil. Here I get for it easely at least R$400 ≈ US $230, so needless to say what would be a reasonable deed!
