I too am a touch gadget type of person and although I have two Kindles, could not resist trying the new Nook ST. That being said, I ended up returning the Nook for the following reasons:
The 'home' screen is 1/3 a B&N advertisement for new books (if you rooted it, this could be eliminated.
While the device is lighter and very comfortable to hold because of the 'rubberized feeling' back, it has a fairly wide, slightly raised bezel. For me, this was not comfortable to hold and touch the screen to turn pages. I found myself actually using the page turn buttons instead.
The wifi is locked to the B&N store (again rooting it would solve this problem, although I'm not sure how happy people are with the responsiveness of the browser - there are other posts that discuss this)
The 3G definitely has advantages when you travel and don't have access to wifi.
Accordingly, with the above nits about the Nook, I decided to wait and see how Amazon would respond to the 'touch' market.
Hope these impressions help.
cheers
