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.

I always used my PDA for reading. It has wifi availability. While I did use it, on occasion, for downloading books, I prefer putting them on my device while it's connected to my PC. Maybe because I'm a organisation nut, but books need to be in a specific location. Now, my PDA isn't seeing that much reading action anymore, and my two new readers have no wireless. I'm not missing it, except very occasionally, when I know I've a book on my PC that I haven't put on my reader yet...
Also, that buying from BN.com only works if you live in the US. My money isn't good enough for them.

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.

Colour touchscreen? For covers only? I watch a cover when I open a book and never again.
Considering B&N is only available in one single country in the whole world, unless you live in that country, the Nook is simply a nice gadget which is even hard to get as B&N only delivers in that country. And there are more countries on this globe than Canada...
