Despite all the negativity in the press, many people on this forum never had a problem with their nook -- I for example am quite happy with the speed, touch-screen and everything else. And then, it's Android and it's already been hacked.

So if you want an aesthetically and technically dated device, get the Kindle. If you want device with the present and future -- get the nook.
I like the keyboard on my KDX. I don't like virtual keyboards like the one on the nook because there is no physical feedback. Seeing the pictures of the eink screen above the lcd screen is a real turn off to me. But as we say in the back packing community, "hike your own hike".
