I dunno, I think the poster made some valid points. And I have, use, and recommend both the Nook Classic and the Nook Color. I don't find the Nook (classic or color) to be a very intuitive reader interface. Yes, you can adjust to it, but I think the Kindle has the Nook beat in this department.

The Nook makes an inexpensive Android tablet, but its lack of hardware buttons and the need to download many apps to customize it, give it a poor out-of-the-box just-rooted experience. There are workarounds for app-switching, but they are 'work arounds'. E.g. I have softkeys set up on a single press of the N key which pulls up most recently used apps and allows fast switching between apps without going back to the home screen. But you have to configure it. For folks who don't want to fiddle like this to get everything configured 'just so', it's not a good experience.
