No? Then it isn't good enough.
Many of the attributes of an ereader are a matter of preference: some people want touch screen; some don't, some people want tts, some don't; etc. But there are two things that stand out when it comes to choosing eink over LCD: the screen and the battery. For at least a year, the kindle and the nook will be matched when it comes to the screen, so the thing that matters is the battery.
Oh, and of course, the bookstore behind it. But while everybody is saying on the forum that Amazon is better, it is B&N that has the words "World's Largest Bookstore" on their
website.
Not that this has anything to do with me, since I'm in Europe.
