However, the Kindle 2 is thinner, lighter, and has a longer battery life.
I think B&N also has the advantage of support for other devices for their ebooks using the eReader DRM/format you can read the ebooks on a PC, a Mac, an iPod Touch, Blackberry, etc.

Although, one thing that does seem to be missing (compared to Kindle and PRS600) is a dictionary lookup.
