I can hold the kobo touch comfortably without a case. With the Nook STR I can't. For my hands it is too wide (so is the classic nook). I wanted to like the STR as I already have a classic Nook and it would have been a much easier transition. Trying both of them at the end of the day Kobo meets my needs more.
I like that I can adjust the full page refreshes, the simplified and cleaner home screen, the quilted back is very comfortable and I don't need a case. The form factor is just more of what I was looking for. I also like all the options to adjust margins, spacing, and fonts. The physical buttons to turn pages on the Nook STR were so hard to press that for me- it wasn't an advantage.
My advice to anyone is that you should try them both if possible and keep the one that best works for you. That will be different for everyone based on their needs. I'm glad that we have so many more choices than we used to.
