I don't have any first hand knowledge of this but I remember reading when B&N shut down in England a lot of people were stuck with useless devices.

I have a Nook Glowlight Plus and a Kobo Aura. The Glowlight Plus has a far better screen and for the most part I like the interface better but it has a capacative area right in the middle of the bottom, exactly where I want to rest my thumb, which, if touched even very lightly, sends me back to the home screen. I rarely get through a page without that happening at least once. I've tried work-arounds and nothing helps. That ruins the Nook for me.

Even though the Nook is a far nicer device I'd pick a Kobo because of that problem. I read a lot with my Kobo Aura. It's screen isn't nearly as good as the Nook but it's okay. I've never minded the screen.
