The Nook has another problem to consider. The bezel is prone to cracking because of a design flaw. B&N readily replaces devices that crack, but they haven't fixed the underlying problem. Some people have exchanged cracked Nooks more than three times.

Also, B&N could just as easily remove books from the Nook like Amazon did. After the bad PR Amazon got from its episode, I doubt they'll ever attempt it again; and it didn't go unnoticed by the others.
