So-called "widescreen" resolutions provide minimal benefits in portrait orientation, especially when you're looking at fixed aspect ratio page. In cases like that, all that matters is the smaller dimension - and the Nook Color's narrower screen will actually provide less effective real estate for viewing comics and PDFs.
Higher resolution only matters if it's "usable" resolution.

No doubt. I much prefer the 4x3 screen. I'm surprised that more companies are not following apple's lead.
In the nook color's defense, from my personal experience, the clarity of the screen and the text readability blows away devices like the Pandigital Novel and Velocity Cruz. I do wish the screen of the nook color had the 4 x 3 aspect ratio though.
