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. |

and Kobo did already upgrade the FW addressing some of the issues people had with it.
