^ Yeah, pretty much ditto from me as well. For pure bells and whistles, the Nook color is superior to the Kindles, and this from a K3 owner.
I love my K3, but chock full of schmexy wow factor it isn't, especially not in terms of stuff like eye candy. But it is the best choice for me, as I only care about reading books. And since I have a Tab for those AngryBirds/time wasting moments.
EDIT: Congrats on the new addition to the family
