I'd be pretty angry at B&N myself except for one big thing: Within the coming months, the ADE SDK will include a method of DRM that doesn't require servers to remain functional to authorize new devices. Short-term pain for long-term gain as someone said in another thread.
If it was between the nook and the Kindle? I'd vote for the nook, personally. Reason for me is that I don't see Amazon suddenly adopting ePub or anything more open anytime soon. I'd take the nook over that any day. If that isn't a concern, the Kindle is probably in a better position
right now because it is already established.
Outside of Amazon's devices, I'd agree with others that Sony has probably the most polished readers on the market right now. They could be better ergonomically, but they aren't ergonomically
bad either.
