If you are planning to download purchased books to a PC and sideload to your reader, there is no good reason to avoid the Nook Glowlight Plus. It is a nice bit of hardware that is waterproof and has a good, 300 PPI screen. B&N could close tomorrow and your reader would be just as useful now as it was.
However, I think you made a good choice starting out with a Kindle. Amazon does have the best store by a country mile. Goodreads integration is nice too.
I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with Calibre and Apprentice Alf. In a bit, when you're ready for something new if you decide not to stick with Kindle and you won't feel locked in to any ecosystem.
