I came across an interesting consideration in favor of the Nook. A couple of reviewers pointed out that B&N is the lifeblood the physical bookstore industry in the US. By using a Nook, you'd be helping the physical bookstore industry stay afloat. I didn't used to think of B&N as the good guy, but they're an important part of the US market and are a counterbalance to Amazon. That doesn't mean I'd automatically buy a Nook, but it's a consideration.

That's a very altruistic motivation, but I doubt it's actually correct. Given everything that's been written here about B&N and their disinterest in/mismanagement of Nook, it seems likely that a much more practical way to keep the physical bookstore industry in your country stay afloat would be to go into one and buy physical books.
