I basically agree with your conclusion. The Nook has advanced the state of the art in hardware, but has half baked software. Software can be fixed, but it can also be left half baked - time will tell.
I am not aware of any commitment from Amazon about ePub. At best they might add it to their e-mail conversion options, but Amazon's ePub to MOBI capability is far inferior to Calibre. The Nook handles PDFs better than the Kindle. The Kindle does not reflow the PDF and does not support the table of contents. The Nook does not have a landscape mode for PDFs (which the Kindle does), but it shows each page either full size (i.e. very tiny text for letter/A4 PDFs) or reflowed at various font sizes. Neither one has excellent PDF support, but the Nook's is better.
