The only current Nook e-ink reader is the GlowLight, which I personally don't believe is as good as a Paperwhite, though admit I have only seen it in a store and not personally used one. It is certainly not comparable with high-end models like the Kindle Voyage or the Kobo Aura H2O, but is much better priced.

There are also various other e-readers available, some of which are very good. It depends on your needs.
The nook is not really all that good. The interface is a mess and the 500mb you get after the partitioning for side loaded eBooks is a joke. There is no card slot for expanding the memory for side loaded eBooks.
