I think Nook does a very good job with page layout. The reading experience on the Nook is very good. I don't like that the page count is inaccurate, but that has to do with the ePub format, not the Nook.
Outside of the reading experience, I don't think the Nook software is as good as Kobo's software. The home page is half made up of store recommendations that can't be turned off. In my honest opinion, Nook software is 'good enough'.
I've only used Kindles for short times here and there, so I'm not the best judge. But I found it to be confusing and unintuitive. I'm sure reading some guide would clear up the mystery. But I've never needed such hand-holding on a Nook or Kobo.
Now, you will hear about Nook software being slow or buggy. That is mainly to do with the most recent update to the Glowlight 3. Originally, the Glowlight 3 only had a small partition for sideloading. After customers complained, they tried updating it with a software update. While there is now more room, the device is buggy.
I have a 6" Glowlight Plus and a Glowlight 3. Both run the same software and the Plus is definitely more stable.
