There are many advantages. The Nook has the best balance I've seen in a book reader with its wide side bezel and its shaped, rubberized back so you can get a good grip on the reader. It supports ePub which gives access to current books from a wider variety of bookstores. It has a virtually unlimited memory space through its SD card slot. And yes, the screen savers is an important issue to me.
It should be up to me to decide if I want an "Alfred E. Newman for President" poster, my favorite book cover or a homemade "This Space for Rent" sign on my book when it's asleep. I don't like most of the dead poet images on the Kindle screen and even less having to go around pimping products from Amazon.
