Man but I loved Pac-Man! It's like I relive those fond memories in addition to reading!

Okay jesting aside the joystick is in a great location. I'll admit I'm guilty of reading a lot on my Kindle and take lots of notes as well as look up words regularly. Having the joystick where it is makes it real easy to keep the focus and momentum going. There is no action needed to bring up a navigation menu or start typing. Just moving the joystick immediately moves the cursor in the direction you want. Also the placement of the joystick is in the right location.

Admittedly it's not as sleek looking as the nook's touch screen. But the form factor and usability is a much better expiernece on the Kindle.

Right it comes down to personal taste and finding out what feature are most important to one. Like yourself Kindle has many extra feature over the nook that I cannot even start considering the nook as an option.
