Nook basically dropped out of the e-reader business a few years ago. You can still get the Glow Plus, but support is basically gone and you're not likely to ever get any updates. That's likely why people aren't recommending it.
Feature wise: Kobo gives you more font sizes and you can change weight of fonts, more line spacing and left/right margin options, easier to put your own fonts on, a lot of different mods that don't require rooting. Customer Service is a little hit and miss.
Kindle has great customer service, a bigger store selection, some people like the simpler options. There are also functions like X-ray which I'll let others comment on as I don't have a Kindle. The dictionaries are also apparently better and you can buy and add dictionaries on the Kindle (can't on Kobo).
Depending which device you get, many of the Kobo's are Infra-red touch rather than capacitive touch which some people love and others hate (especially for highlighting). YMMV.
