Well, if everything equal, I see no reason to buy a refurb to save only $10. Unfortunately, you need to check out the ebook stores behind each, and based my random compare, it seems amazon has most selection and cheapest ebooks, followed by Sony, and B&N's ebooks are generally more expensive; depending on how many ebooks you plan to buy, that may be a factor especially books bought on amazon cannot be converted to something readable on the nook. I have tons of Chinese classics and public domain English titles that can last me for a decade at least, so I don't buy ebooks that often (maybe a dozen at most each year), so the price difference between the ebook stores is not a big factor for me and I really like the screen contrast of the nook (I don't really like the battery draining touch screen but I guess it's a tradeoff that I can bear for a better e-ink screen), and the nook supports all my local library ebooks in the epub format, that's why I chose the nook.
