The other big bonus of the Nook is the SD card option, so I can watch all my burned Netflix DVDs on it.

Another nice thing I found is that I can email non-DRM epub books to myself on the Nook, download the attachment, and it will open up in the Nook reader.
I'm tempted to do the same, but Nook HD has no 4G connectivity and that's a deal breaker for me.

I also prefer the 4:3 Mini's aspect ratio. But Nook HD resolution it's way better than iPad mini.
