In my opinion, you can't compare these two.
nook, to me, is the (nearly) perfect "casual reader". Elegant, cool, B&N shop very good. But it's lacking some essential features (for professional/technical documents), like zoom or advanced configurations (cropping margins).
Sony 900 is extremely polished, equally cool. Far more advanced, but clearly with a less crisp screen.
As I'm permanently switching between casual and professional documents, my ranking remains: #1 = Sony 900, #2 = iRex 800 and #3 =nook.
But if it's about budget, nook definitely ranks extremely high.
BTW: The gap between Sony 900 and iRex 800 gets smaller. At first, I've been a bit disappointed about iRex 800 (high expectations because of the great iRex iLiad). But now iRex 800 really is growing on me. If they implement zoom, it will rank #1. Display quality close to nook, very professional.

But: Depending on your demands, you can't go wrong with nook.

Edit: BeBook Neo has changed the picture, iRex 800 dropping in my list.
