I think that they are both generally good. It could be small variations between each unit of a particular brand that make people perceive them differently. Or maybe it matters what fonts you favor. My experience is that the KPW2 is the first ereader that I have not turned on "refresh every page" yet. I wish I had that setting on the Nook.
It also appears that the new Nook Glowlight does not refresh images the same. On the old Glowlight an image page would refresh but not the page after it. On the new Glowlight neither page refreshes. On the new Glowlight the text on the next page will be lighter where it overlaps the image from the previous page. For example I can see a square of less bold text. Even though the old one didn't refresh the next page the text looks more even. However, overall, I think the new one looks much better with the exception of this image issue.
I thought of another software feature it would be nice for the Nook to have. Other ereaders allow you to zoom in on images.
