I have enough Kobo's in the family for the both of us. She wants to support B&N as we go to their brick-and-mortar stores frequently and she used to buy a lot of physical books from them, but she's slowly turning to digital only for everything other than comics and manga. So the Nook would let her maintain that trajectory while still feeling like she's keeping B&N afloat. Kobo doesn't really have a presence in the US--Wal-Mart is the only remaining partner, and AFAIK that partnership is dead.
She also tends to buy more books for list-price. I'm a cheap-ass who only buys e-books when they go on sale for $5 or less.
