but it's going to come down to you though, does the nook color offer features that the kindle doesn't that you want or like etc.
I also have the nook classic (eink) and I actually find the two compliment each other very nice. I am a huge outdoor reader, so my nook classic is perfect for out on my deck etc.
At the same time my wife and I like to have low lighting at night in the living room, then my nook color is perfect for that.
To be honest with you , if money isn't an issue, then I would recommend having both, your Kindle and a nook color. I don't view it as an eink vs lcd but more like a great companion to each other.

Do you own a Kindle? Not sure why you are giving an advice for a device you don't own.
The Nook Color is not a true reader, it supposes to be a tablet. Hmm, wait ... has no Android Market by default ... hmmm... so what the Nook Color really is?
You do not need color for a novel, that is just a really good way of waste money or satisfy your own desire of buying a gadget. For true reading experience and the closets to a paper like feeling, the Kindle.
The Nook Color could be good for Magazines or Interactive content, but with the poor stock applications, no way to do landscape (you can on the Kindle 3, which is 50% cheaper) bad stock browser, heavy weight, fails in several aspects of what a tablet should be.
Go ahead, reply that you can root it. But you do not suppose to root or hack something in order to work, it should work out of the box. Besides, warranty is avoided the second you do it. And I believe is not moral or good, bring it back to a store if you fried or brick the device after doing something that is not officially supported.
To the OP
For a true reading experience, novel or books, the Kindle. It can be used outdoor without any issue. Out of the box, the Nook Color, as a readers, fails miserable; the stock applications are just bad. If you really want color or would like a device for Magazines, games or Interactive content, there are plenty of options out there better than NC: iPad, Galaxy Tab, Asus. Yes, a little bit more expensive but remember, you get what you pay for!
