Nook:

1. Better quality of text (better contrast/more gray levels)
2. Faster Page Turns
3. Better file compatability (Kobo can't do Barnes and Noble, but Nook can do Kobo)
4. Ergonomics better because of left hand page turns + touchscreen swipes
5. In store Nook representatives for Customer Service

Kobo:

1. Better battery life
2. Ergonomics better for right handed readers due to size, weight, design
3. Lighter, and easier to hold one handed

Durability and reliability seem the same (both quality devices). The Nook firmware is newer and probably a bit more stable, but Kobo will catch up.

Don't know about Linux
