For choosing my next reader, I want to hear about your opinions on why the Nook is more compelling to you?
Edit: I'm particularly interested in your insights on the user interface differences between the Kindle and the Nook. Which do you like better and why?

I used to have a Kindle - a Kindle 3, but that broke about 3-4 months ago. I was originally going to buy another kindle but I ran into a problem really quickly - memory. My old kindle had 4gb, but they don't make it anymore, and unless I wanted another tablet - which I don't/didn't; then the only other kindle options had 2gb.
In reality this isn't 2gb though, more like 1.2GB, and I have nearly 3GBs worth of ebooks.
To cut a long story short, I decided to buy a Nook touch glowlight, because I could expand the memory. It's also reasonably priced, and has 'shelves'. I still think the old kindles they made were possibly the best, but they don't make those anymore, and I have a lot of problems with the newer kindles aside from memory. From the newer options, the Nook was definitely my best option, particularly since Sony's are difficult to come across in UK other than online, and the price for them is, accordingly, much higher than the Nook's.
