I will try to provide a more objective analysis. I've used both and like both. I prefer the nook's screen and the Kindle's bookstore.

Actually, the new software for the nook has fixed most every issue with the device. It works quite well. The wireless is either 3G (works anywhere in the US) or Wi-Fi (home network or other) or in a Barnes and Noble store.

If you go to a store, you do get some special offers (discounts, some free books, a plethora of essays). Soon you'll be able to read for an hour (I think this time is correct) any ebook.

The Kindle is also a nice device and right now it gets better battery life. The Nook's battery life will be addressed in the next firmware rev, which is expected this month. Library books (Epub) are easily loaded onto the nook. Library books (Mobi) are easily loaded onto the Kindle.

B&N's customer service has greatly improved since the premature launch of the nook. It's a night and day experience with B&N when you compare December to March.
