And some involve skimpy leather thongs and a lot of lady-flesh, apparently. There was a free offering mentioned here this week that I grabbed. It's the first ebook of that sort I'd ever gotten, and, I'm still not used to having full color covers automatically appear on my Fire's carousel, so the first time I turned the Fire on later that day, my two immediate reactions were "Whoa! How did that get there!?" and "Wow, I'm glad we got my son his own Amazon account."
Anyway, back on topic: I don't think the Nook STR has any objectively better tech. The enhanced page refresh technology it uses doesn't impress me, and the refresh on my K3 has never bothered me in the least, and for my needs, the other features on the K3 blow the STR away (YMMV, of course.)
However, I think the ergonomics of the STR are excellent, I love the buttons, and the shape and weight of it.
I like the idea of the new glow features, but if it's true that it reduces the contrast or otherwise negatively affects the text appearance, that's the end of it for me.
As for library books, if you choose to, it's very easy to get the epub library books onto a Kindle. If you already use Calibre to manage your books, you're halfway there.
Given the choice of library book available in both formats, I tend to pick the ePub still.
