To me device software (and to some degree hardware) feels so unfinished - it is almost insulting, but your experience may be different.
Just to illustrate, Theonna from russian the-ebook.org forum (not sure if she is presented here - many people are) made a couple of quick pictures:

Not striving for real comparison, but it illustrates what I am talking about.
Too rephrase - feels like this thing should cost $60 and be completely open to even consider it... |
The background of the nook is darker than the Kindle. But, the font is darker on the nook than the Kindle. On the Kindle, the font looks grayish and the font on the nook looks darker. So the contrast overall on both devices may be similar.
