So I was all for waiting for the Kindle Touch to come out to get one, but with today's Nook Simple Touch adding better features and dropping to $99, is there even a reason to wait for the Kindle Touch?
A quick comparison:
Nook Simple Touch
-6 in screen
-support epub
-no ads anywhere
-Expandable microSD up to 32 GB
-can be rooted to run simple Android apps, including PDF-specific apps like Repligo, etc.

vs.
Kindle Touch
-6 in screen
-supports only mobi
-a few non-intrusive ads
-only 3 GB storage
The only things I see the Kindle Touch having over the Nook Touch are:
-partnership with Overdrive to download books from public libraries, but that's extremely limited since publishers set the limit
*edit just realized you can install the Overdrive app for Android to directly download ebooks to Nook.
-Send to Kindle support using Wifi email or Instapaper, which AFAIK Nook doesn't have
-an audio jack (but how much music can you fit on 4 GB anyways).
I tried a Nook in store and the only I didn't like was how slightly difficult it was to detect your hand gestures when highlighting something, that's one area if the Kindle Touch is better in I may consider it.
So are there any other features of the Kindle that make it a potentially better purchase? Thanks.
