Why are you comparing the screen of a frontlit ereader (KPW) to the NST (no frontlight)? It is a known fact that fronlit displays have less clear screens, as you have observed yourself between the NST and the Nook Glow.
Perhaps you should compare the NST to the Kindle Touch/Basic/Keyboard.

The other advantage of a NST (or Original Glow) vs a Kindle (*any* Kindle) is that the Kindle really isn't rootable, just jail-breakable. That's more than semantics because rooting is much more complete, powerful and, with Nook Manager, is MUCH easier to do.

Rooting=jailbreaking. Perhaps you meant that the Nook runs Android, and the Kindle doesn't?
Perhaps, but it's also worth considering that it runs OLD Android, which diminishes the value considerably.
