Not to me, it didn't. I decided that the ereader device was most important to me. If I didn't like using the device, I wouldn't use it very much and it would be a waste of money. I saw pretty quickly that I would not care for the touch screen navigation of the Nook (and the Nook was going to be my first choice until I began looking into EBRs and found what was available.)
When I discovered that I preferred the operation and usage of the Kindle, I also discovered some perceived limitations of the K3 (lack of library support which is no longer an issue, lack of epub, etc.) So I investigated what it would take to overcome that. I learned how to borrow library books on the K3, buy ebooks from almost any source and convert for use on the K3, and the perceived limitations vanished. Then I bought the K3. Two of them.
So now I buy books from Amazon, B&N, Borders, Baen, Smashwords, etc. and have more to read than I can possibly get to for the next few years... unless I totally vegetate.
