I for one have no problems keeping my Nook as compared to the kindle 3 The Kindle 3 cleaned up the Kindle 2 but that's really about it.
The Pearl screen does have a better contrast but not head and shoulders above the Nook which already has a fantastic screen and def. not as head and shoulders above as I think many were hoping it would be.
What I love about my nook that the Kindle doen't have :
Love Love Love the color touchscreen navigation color book cover art etc. It combines technology of today with both e ink and touch screen ala smart phones etc.
This is Amazon's third crack at it and it still is very very outdated navagation process. Whenever I see my buddy at work use his Kindle all I can think of is this :

egads Amazon it's going to be 2011 and the Kindle still looks and feels like old tech.
the nooks finger swiping for page turning, it's just great,
the inStore Expereince, can't beat it, love getting my Godiva while reading or a Starbucks coffee for Free
Free Friday's
E-Pub/Public Library
Just a cleaner, better designed looking hardware, though I will admit the Kindle 3 is an improvement over the past Kindle's, but man PLEASE dump that ugly keyboard.
BN's ebook store looks more like what an e book store should look like. Inviting, you feel like you're buying books.
Amazon just feels like another tap for shopping no different of the look and feel of buying HDMI cables or MP3 players.
Similar to like iTunes it looks and feels like a place for music, Amazon again is very sterile and geniric.
Replacable Battery
Instore Support.
These are the reason I will choose the nook everytime of the Kindle
