since it's inception the Nook has now gone through 4 firmware upgrades. All past issues have been addressed and it's performance been enhanced. Page turning speed is nice and snappy, downloading books is very fast.
With the wi fi only nook coming out at the same price as the Kobo, I honestly can not see any reason to buy a Kobo over the Nook. The Nook Lite has all the same features as the original Nook just minus the 3G.
It has web browser (though you'll find it's best use is for connecting to wi fi hot spots, though mobile websites actually are pretty good on it)
Free Anywhere At&t Wi Fi hotspots
You can download books wirelessly as long as you are connected to a wi fi connection
you can buy books off of Barnes and Nobles website and have it on your Nook without having to connect your device.
Color touchscreen navigation that display's book cover art.
InStore feature, read any book for up to an hour, Nook exclusive in store coupons, Freebies from Starbucks Cafe ( Free coffee's, dessert bars etc) Speciall prices on books for Nook only owners.
You can buy books from Kobo as well since it does support e-Pub,
I just honestly can not see anything advantageous in buying a Kobo over the Nook at the same price point.
