Yesterday I just bought a second nook for my wife. We have completely different tastes in books, so sharing books or accounts wasn't even a consideration. Battery life isn't important to me, I don't think it's a big deal to plug it in every 3 or 4 days. Neither is a difference of a couple ounces. The nook weighs about as much as a book. I'm fine with that.
The LCD screen means the kindle will always be lighter and have better battery life. I like the looks of the nook with the lcd screen better than the keyboard on the kindle.
I also like that the nook reads epub and is a little more open than the kindle.
That's what it comes down to - what you prefer. Neither is a poor choice.
