If you don't read Magazines, Photographic Manuals or anything with color (most of the time) I see no reason for a Nook Color. Any eink device can do exactly the same using less battery, lighter and even less expensive.

A novel or short tale will read exactly the same on both, so besides a browser there is no advantage at all (please understand that I am giving my statement based on pure text books only, again, novels and similar)

I had issues reading with the Nook Color, one of the reason why I returned it. Changing the contrast did nothing in order to improve that.

Get another e-ink!

If you don't like the Nook classic mini touch screen, you should check a Sony or Kindle 3. They have better eink technology thank Nook and they are really good pieces of software, besides extremely good battery life.
