Personally I wouldn't touch a Nook. Firstly, support for it has been sadly lacking from B&N for quite a while now. However, in fairness, there are some signs now that James Daunt places some importance on it which may result in improved support. Personally I wouldn't take the chance. Secondly is the unfriendly approach to DRM removal, though if you are not worried about removing DRM this won't matter. Which leads to the next point? Is B&N going to survive? If not, what guarantee is there that you could access your purchased books. Though Kobo or less likely another vendor may take over your account, this is far from guaranteed.
I've never owned a Nook but from what I have seen over the years they make good and attractive e-readers. But I don't think B&N's track record gives any confidence of their long or even medium term survival. Good luck to James Daunt, their British CEO, who I think has his work cut out for him.
