I need your actual opinion on the bebook neo and the nook. I am looking at those for a friend of mine, she insists on a white unit

and was quite crazy about the nook until she saw the neo, now she doesn't know anymore. She is flying tomorrow to the US and I won't be able to communicate with her from then on, she wants me to tell her whether she should get the nook while over there.
Since I don't have the nook, nor the Neo, I really don't know what to tell her....
