Now with all that said--if you can get by the menus, don't mind lack of TTS, are okay with their credit card security model. The nook is a viable ereader and brings the 1st (IMHO) real competition to the Kindle.
That is a good point. Then all you really have to do is see which one gives the better reading experience for whatever you are trying to read, epubs, pdfs, etc. The nook supports font changing and reflow for pdfs, so if pdf reading is important to you that is a nice features but still a small screen.
