Well, I think I partially answered my own question. Apparently the Nook Color gets about 8 hours of reading per charge (assuming WiFi is off) whereas my iPad is closer to 16 or 20 hours (with WiFi off). Is that really worth the extra $150?

My decision was made easier. My dad decided he liked my iPad enough to keep it and told me to buy one for myself to replace the one I gave him. I ordered a 32GB black WiFi model from PCConectionExpress.com this evening; it should arrive in about 2 weeks or so.
So I guess I'll be selling my Sony 650 in a few weeks. |

I'd say the two major issues are the differences in screen sizes, and the differences in the apps available for the two platforms. If neither of those is a big issue for you, then the Nook Color well worth considering.
