Even if the nook were sold here in Europe it were next to useless for me as it doesn't have the foreign languages dictionaries the Sony has. I'd pay a hundred more any day for those. I'd even pay a hundred more if I could buy/have French-German, Spanish-German. I can make do with the English-French or English-Spanish but it were bizillions nicer to use with German.
Wifi is of real direct use for me, I don't load a book-a-day...
