Well, from what I'm reading about the new nook, there seem to be quite a few issues with it. The decision they've made to only fully refresh the screen every 6 page turns leads, according to many reports, to significant ghosting, and internal memory is partitioned in such a way that only about 240MB of user content can be loaded. PDF support is very poor, and there's no landscape display mode. These are, of course, all issues that can be sorted out with a firmware upgrade, but as things stand at the moment I can't see many Kindle owners being tempted away.
The 750MB reserve for B&N content is what made me say "I'll pass". Also your SD Card books appear under My Files and not in the same area as other books unless you add them then it's not clear if you remove the card to add more books if they stay there but the Reserved space was enough for me wait for Kobo's new Touch ereader or another touch ereader.
