I've had my K3 a few days now. A few things stand out in the Nook vs K3 debate raging in my head:
* The K3 feels a lot lighter than the Nook. It's easier to read in one hand. The flip side of this is that it feels more delicate.
* Page turns are quite a bit faster on the K3 (although the speed of the Nook didn't especially bother me)
* Very little reflectivity from the K3! Yeah!
* The dictionary implementation is *much* better on the K3.
* I prefer the Nook "Page Numbers".
* I like the way you can use the touch screen slider bar on the Nook to find specific points in the book.
* I prefer the size of the Nook page turn buttons. But I'm getting used to the ones on the K3.
* I like seeing the clock on the Nook while I'm reading.
It sort of sounds like they're evenly matched, but for me the K3 gives a better reading experience. The drawbacks of the Nook are more irritating than those of the K3.
Once she's finished reading her current pbook, my wife is going to give the Nook a try. If she doesn't like it then I'll sell it.
