Wish i had a CC, would offer to get you a Kindle of your choice.

My Co worker who is a manager of Nook Sales ensures me that you should buy a Nook though.. Easy to root too he says.

I got to play with the Nook for a few nights reading Jim Butcher. I didn't really notice any issue with the page turns but honestly I was in a daze most of the time. I tend to wander off into fantasy land while reading Jim Butcher, his books visualize for me.

You get used to the page turns really fast. At first you might still see it, but after 50 pages max you won't even notice it any more. And slow? How much faster to you turn a page on a real book?
