Kate is right, the Nook has too many problems compared to the Kindle.
All things considered, an ereader should do one thing exceptionally well: display pages of a book. All other quirks can be somewhat forgiven... and this is where the Nook utterly fails.
Page turns on the Nook are slow. Not just, "Huh, there's a microsecond of difference between the Nook and the Kindle" but "wow, it's substantially slower than my 3 year old Sony PRS-500." It was so awkward that I often found myself with my eyes at the top of the page waiting for the device to finally turn a page. It made reading slower and considerably more unappealing.
I bought and returned my Nook in February. I wanted to like it- I don't like a lot of the Amazon policies. I just couldn't use it, so I bought a Kindle 2. Much better. Still wish there was more competition- I miss the joystick page turns that my PRS-500 had.
