Calibre makes this argument void if you are talking about non-DRM books. Yes there is a hassle of converting your library to another file format from my understanding, but what I would really like to see are said epub books that are not available in .mobi format.
Every non-DRM ebook that I have searched for on Feedbooks is available in the popular ebook file formats (epub, .mobi, pdf) likewise the manybooks.net and likewise project gutenberg.
Not meaning to create a sequeway, but the Kobo has the advantage when it comes to international books. You can purchase more foreign language books from the Kobo store than any other ereader bookstore. These books are mostly available in the ePub format, but since you cannot purchase these books directly from the store on a Nook, you have to sideload it onto your Nook. If you want it on your Kindle, you can download it, convert it, then you can either load it directly onto your Kindle or email it.
Yes your library will follow you, but you have to do work to have it follow you. You have to convert your kindle books files over to an epub format and manually load it onto another device, whereas you pop in the SD card with the Nook. In this aspect the Nook is the winner.
Can we all just get along though?
I bought a Nook STR and I own a Kindle 3 as well. You have won APK and boswd. Let's have some steak.
