Last May, I opted for the nook over the Kindle because of the library checkouts. However, I've been very disappointed with the selection of eBooks available through the library. I'm not a romance fan and that is the genre that is mostly available. I've found 2 non-fiction books and 1 literary fiction book to check out over the past 3 months. As for "seamless" between the Nook and library checkouts... only after I'd downloaded and registered Adobe Digital Editions and practiced side-loading. I'm still not a fan of side-loading, which is required if you get books from anywhere other than B&N.
Also during the same timeframe, I've looked up several titles that have only been available in eBook from Amazon. So I recently downloaded Kindle for PC software. I've started downloading free books and sample chapters from Amazon since I'm thinking about buying a Kindle 3. IMO Amazon's website and Kindle store is much better than B&N's website. Amazon is faster with much better search capabilities. Amazon just needs a few keywords and most of the time that is sufficient to uncover the book I want. Using a simple keyword search on B&N oftentimes returns weird results, which is better than a couple of months ago when B&N would just take you to the beginning of their ebook listings.
Kindle also has better syncing and note-taking functions. If you're reading between devices or using them for study, then both those functions could be important to you. Nook is definitely best for reading one book on a single device from cover-to-cover.
