I intend to go to the library later this week and check out either of the Nooks. I want to see if reading on the LCD screen really does tire the eyes. If not, I might return the Touch and buy the Nook.
Nothing wrong with having both. I have a Kindle 4 (for reading) and an HP TouchPad (for everything else). Planning to get a 7" tablet soon.

I don't like reading on LCD devices because:
  • LCDs bother my eyes for extended reading
  • poor battery life compared to eInk devices
  • tablets are too heavy
