The Nook is very much a connect to your computer, put books on it type of device. The Kindle Touch will be similar.
Ok, so I would not be able to sync them. But I could still transfer my calibre library using the usb connect.

My husband uses the nook app on his android phone v/s my stanza app on my iphone. I'm not impressed with his nook app but then again that could be the difference in user use or even the difference in app functions. I cant view the metadata info on books in his nook app that have been taken from his calibre library. He puts them on there using a car rather than usb or wireless connect. So maybe it's the difference in how he loads it?

My main thing is that I want to make sure which ever ereader I use that I can in fact see all my saved descriptions of the books while I'm on the reader.

This would be so much easier if I could have both the nook and the kindle in my possession for a week to play with

I was going to go pick up the nook today at Best Buy but my order didnt go through last night and now today they arent running the same special (Yesterday it was $79 and you got a free 2 gb sd card with 30 books for free. It's still $79 with no freebie today.) so I might hold off and continue my comparison shopping a little longer.
