Now, I do not know what you mean with sharper and clearer, but letters on a eink device are way more sharper because is true black, not a generated black color (combining several colors at the same time) typical on LCD screens. Even at angle, LCD screens contrast varies because the way the technology works.
I am happy that you like your device, but Kindle and NC are different and you certainly can use the Kindle at bright sun; doing the same with the Nook Color ends with lot of reflection.
With proper light, like the one people use for a book, a Kindle can be used indoors too. People complain that they are not able to read a Kindle with dim light or when is dark but who reads a book with the lights off?

It's a personal preference.....I own both and I think the Nook Color screen is sharper and text is easier to read. The new Kindle 3 uses a gray looking screen which is terrible in dim light....When I read it at night I require a 150 watt lamp. In my option the old Classic Nook E-Ink screen is easier to read in dim light than the Kindle 3. When you add in the terrible user interface and the clunky keyboard I am no fan of the Kindle at all.
