I seriously looked at a K3 when shopping for my Sony 600. Part of it was because of the nifty lighted covers. The nook also got a good share of my attention because of all the accessories available for it. I'm still mourning the nook cover I bought for the 600 that is just a tad too small for the 950, and have no idea what I'll end up replacing it with. Chris did some modifications on it, and it *works*.... but not as well as I'd like.
To address the Kindle bashing issue: I'm not a huge fan of Amazon. It started when the Kindle store was locked down to ONLY people who owned Kindles. I realize that's changed but the resentment of being locked out is still there for me. (Yep, I hold grudges, lol) They are usually a last resort for me when purchasing ebooks because of their "one click" buy system. Same with B&N. When I buy books, most of the time I'm doing it on "new release Tuesday" and buying more than one thing. I'm also doing this with a bank issued Visa debit card, and my bank throws fits when they get (for example) three purchases in a short amount of time for the same amount. They usually get flagged as duplicate transactions and at least one of them won't go through. With Books on Board and the Sony store, I can fill a cart and pay all at once. Also, no format shifting required, since I own a Sony.
