I was in your situation. In one week, I actually bought and returned both a Kindle 3 and a Nook Color. Within two days, I was very sad about the kindle and missed it terribly (I did not think I could get used to the page flashing, everyone assured me I would). I reordered the kindle before Amazon even had my first one back, and I am totally in love. No regrets. LOVE.

The Nook Color was a no brainer for me, it just is not something that works for me at all. It weighs a ton. I don't want an android tablet, they all run like my crappy Samsung Fascinate phone when it comes down to it, and the Nook Color ran especially badly- choppy, non-responsive, etc. Nothing but relief when I returned it.

Another thing that also helped me is understanding the Kindle is AWESOME, in my opinion, unbeatable at the thing it does. I just really like it. But it is priced low enough that it doesn't have to be my be all end all of technology. I will get the upcoming iPad most likely, to fill other "tablet" yearnings.
