It may seem like a " nice to have but ehh I can live without it" but seriously once you have it you won't look back and to have that feature at the same price.
being able to pop on to BN.com buy a book and then turn on your Nook and there it is. Sitting in an Airport, cafe where ever, and want to buy something and simple buy and have it under a minute.
No sideloading EVERY SINGLE book.
Color touchscreen, Color book cover art and cover flow, wireless connection, In store Barnes and Noble features, discounts etc.
Throw in the fact it also supports e-Pub, has a more advanced bookstore platform and the fact the screen contrast between the two is pretty big. The Nook has a far better screen.
at the same price as the no frills Kobo? I mean why would you buy the Kobo at the same price, unless maybe you ilved in Canada but besides that.
That would be like purchasing a Camary over a Lexus at athe same price.
To me it's just a no brainer, it really is.

Good points. I think the additional cost for a Nook would be worth it for the convenience of the wireless alone, but you're also getting the in-store support, starbucks benefits :P , and the benefits of having a major company backing the device for probably a good many years to come.
