I'm Kindle user since day one and the Kindle3 is still my favorite e-reader.

However, I wanted a library-capable device as well and got the Nook classic. For me it was a no-brainer since I have multiple BN stores near me and often hang out in adjoining cafes -- the 'read-in-store' capability is even a better plus to me than the ease of library usage.

I use all my devices regularly. My Kindle3 is my in-house reader. The Kindle2 is my bathroom reader and reader to loan out to friends. The Nook classic is my library and read-in-store book reader.

I have a NookColor, but I'm not a magazine or comic reader (which would benefit from the color screen), so it's just an android tablet for me. If I have a choice, I prefer to read straight text from an e-ink device.
