The Kindle does not have page numbers. They use "locations", which are approximately 128 bytes. They do not change with the font size, so location 123 is the same for everyone reading the book, regardless of font size. Location number is displayed at the bottom of the screen. MOBI format does not support page numbers, so it is not inherently part of the book.
The Nook "lending" is one time per book, if the publisher enables it for that book. Not necessarily a big thing.
You can have many Kindles or Kindle book readers on one account, and download the book to usually up to 6 devices (can vary by publisher). That is one possible way to share with a family member, or friend you really trust.
Amazon's customer service is excellent.
The sizes are very close: Nook: 196 x 126 x 13 mm (7.7" x 4.9" x .5"), weight 317g (11.2oz); Kindle 203 x 135 x 9 mm (8" x 5.3" x 0.36"), weight 289g (10.2oz).
Most Kindle owners find the memory size plenty large enough, without using an SD card. The Kindle can be sent back to Amazon for battery replacement, if it needs it (like an iPod).
