Looking at the Nook and K3 screens side by side I wouldn't say the contrast difference is obvious because it really isn't. The font sharpness, on first inspection isn't greatly different either. This is normal lighting conditions without playing with any of the different fonts and sizes.
However, where the K3 stands out by leaps and bounds is, speed, well designed simple interface that just works and doesn't get in the way, size, weight, look (no distracting nasty shiny stuff anywhere  ) and feel with awesome ergonomics (those page turning keys are very, very nice and unobtrusive to use) and build quality. Picking up this with or without the lighted cover fitted is a joy and puts a smile on your face - unlike the Nook which was an instant disappointment for me. My wife agrees too, so, I guess we'll end up buying another K3 for her soon enough and the Nook will be sold off to someone less, um, demanding. 
I will post side-by-sides pictures later when charging has finished and I've played some more.
Final words; well chuffed. |
Thats good to hear, I almost held out on the nook for the K3 but now that you say the screen is almost the same I am very happy about it,
