Yes, the aspect ratio matters.
The IQ is 3x4, 600x800 and the NookColor is 9x16, 600x1024. Horizontal resolution is the same but the width is narrower.

I've long been surprised that nobody has tried using 16x10 LCD panels in tablets; that would be the closest fit to actual paper aspect ratios and minimize letterboxing for video use, compared to 4x3 panels.
