I have a 505 and I'm not getting a nook. The nook doesn't have enough going for it to be worth spending the money. The screens are the same. IMHO, it's not an upgrade as much as a sidegrade (at best).

For me, I'm holding out for a larger screen reader. I am hoping the forthcoming Overdrive app will do for me what iBooks currently does not do. If it does, I might get an iPad for reading at home and keep the 505 for reading on the go.
