The nook is definitely worth getting for the ePub support and I love the touch screen. Once you get the thumb swipe down you really don't want to press the buttons to turn pages and having the covers in color down there is a nice touch. I don't have issues with the weight. I held a K3 and it is lighter, but honestly the difference was pretty minor.

The file system is a bit of a pain. I have 500+ in my documents folder so it takes a few page turns to get to the next book, but it hasn't been a deal breaker for me.

Some don't like the touch screen, but I personally love it and much prefer it to the old looking keyboard on the kindle. I can't see needing a keyboard like the kindle has unless you are making a lot of notes. For normal use the touch screen is more versatile and makes the device a lot better looking. It is pretty bright outdoors and I haven't had issues using it. There is a bit of lag, but that is mostly waiting for the slower eink screen to catch up. You get used to it quickly.
