The Kobo seems to have better PDF support than the Nook, and can support more file types: mobi, cbr, cbz, txt, and rtf, as well as epub and pdf. The PDF zoom seems like it is well implemented on their device, and they can do landscape PDFs (although I should probably load up a micro sd card and try out some books on a Kobo next time I go to Chapters, to get a feel for usage in real life). Also, I would rather support a Canadian company (with a great bookstore). The Nook isn't even sold in Canada, and I don't see anything about the device that would make me want to pull missions to get it over a Kobo, which I can buy at several locations within walking distance of my house. Not to be shallow, but it has some really nice leather covers from Roots, too... I can't say that I don't squeal over them a little bit when I see them at the bookstore
I might pick up one of the leather "envelope" cases for my Sony readers, though.
