It's a personal choice.

I had a Sony for years, loved the reader, however when it died the customer service stank and I now own, as of yesterday, a Nook Color and I am re-in-love.

Yes, Kindle has a bit better battery life and a few more books available. Book cost at BN is cheaper than it was at Sony. I like the color availability as well. The color is not 3G but you can get a black and white 3G. The color reminds me of a cross between a smartphone and a small netbook.

When I bought my sony I drove about 100 miles round trip to actually touch one before I bought it. I did the same with the Nook. I have tried others that do not feel right to me. You can never touch the kindle first.

If you have a BN, go handle one. To me, it feeling right is what makes it right.
