There is a recent thread on this board where at least one user found reading on the nook's screen easier than the Kindle 3. Contrast isn't everything. I'm reminded of those yellow legal pads which are supposedly easier on the eyes because there is less contrast between the background and the writing. The nook may be a little heavier, but have you ever gotten tired of holding it? I haven't. At any rate, I'd wait for the 1.5 firmware release before making a decision.
