The Daily Edition is indeed a beautiful piece of hardware and prices are coming down. I've seen it on sale for $299 lately. The only drawback is the touchscreen-induced glare as I mentioned in our review. It's not terrible but it's not as matte and paper-like as non-touchscreen e-ink. If you can make it to your local Best Buy, you can see both the nook and Sony Reader Daily Edition in person.
