I have a Nook. I bought it right when it first came out. While I do enjoy the IDEA of being able to get books from anywhere or atleast more places, the color bottom display, and the possibilities the Android system could unveil.
But my main gripe is book selection. For example I was writing something today and wanted 3 books for my research. Nook did not have any of them available for download and I ended up ordering all three on Amazon.Com. While doing that I noticed all 3 were available for Kindle. This is not the first time this has happened.
I am considering ordering a Kindle 3 off of the money I could make (or part of it anyways) off of selling my Nook.
What are your thoughts?

In my opinion content is really the number one feature people should look into when buying an eReader. Then comes hardware consideration.
If you are finding that most of the books you want exist in the Kindle but not on the nook, then the nook is just not serving you well.
I would in a heart beat make the switch, it might take you a little bit longer to recoup your cost, but you will be saving in the long run AND reading books you want. In your post you mentioned you bought three physical books. What was the price difference if you could have bought the 3 books via the Kindle.
You also have another option. Find out how to strip the DRM and then use a tool like calibre to convert the MOBI to ePUB.
Personally I think the K3 is a much better device than the original nook and would switch hardware if I had an option.
