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.

hahaha I guess I need not to add more since all has been issued by others, but for confirmation:
1. I've said that the real matter is warranty issue maybe I did not state clearly that I lived outside US or Canada, I'm in Australia, I guess I would not mind about warranty if I'm in US.
2. It is true that being in the same price there's no point for me to buy KOBO over NOOK, maybe I don't need color touchscreen, fancy connectivity or else, but more capability with the same price by commonsense I should buy More for same price than Less for the same price, no brainer like you said.
However, even if I can push down the price of NOOK to be delivered to my door exactly AU$200 which is considerable cheap compared to KOBO which also being AU$199 delivered to my door,
if I have problem with NOOK I still had to pay shipping, and other paper work to claim the warranty, which makes it even more expensive than KOBO where I should only drop my unit to nearby Angus Robertson outlet.
anyhow, I have kind of bad habit to tweak things, android platform on Nook is my only consideration to settle my choice between KOBO and NOOK, and till now I still looking at the possibility to bring NOOK to my room
and researching for the warranty matter
