If price is your determining factor, so it is.
Of course, this assumes you have the capability to read both formats. Folks who don't will have problems.
And if you have the capability (which you do), you have the problem I do on a multi-function device: recalling which book is in which format viewed with which device/app.

(Aside: interestingly, B&N appears to have stopped selling ebooks and now only carries "NookBooks". Alas, they don't offer Ian Fleming's Bond series electronically. Nor does the Overdrive public library epub distributor.)

So B&N is trying to brand ebooks to associate them with the nook/nook app? No surprise, and it shouldn't create too much confusion.
As for the Bond books, the Fleming estate just announced they'd be rolling their own ebook editions. I'd expect Amazon and the Kindle to be the first target, with others to hopefully follow, so the question is whether Overdrive
will offer them down the road. I suspect they will, but can't be sure.
