No browsing, no wikipedia? Yes, you can loan books but while the book is loaned out you can't read it. At least with the Kindle you can register six on the same account and all have access to all the books all the time. You can't do that with magazine or newspaper subscriptions but it works great for books.
The LCD is a neat gimmick but unless there is a way to organize your files either via folders, collections or tags I still think the Kindle is better. Prices for books are lower and with a little effort all content is readable on it.
For the available features, IMO, $259 is too much for me to give up browsing and wikipedia.
But I hope the Nook does well because competition is good.
