How is your comparison of the nook vs. opus going?

I love them both for different reasons
The Opus is really a fantastic portable reader with lots of memory for those who have large collections. It's instant-on, battery life and ability to organize beat the Nook hands-down. If it was $100 or less, I think Bookeen would sell a lot of them. I got mine used, but I would never have paid full price.
The Nook has new, spiffy features like connectivity and color covers, for a fair price. But its battery life and inability to organize ANY of your collection is a major weakness for anyone who has a large library or likes to re-read (like me). And I personally think it weighs too much for in-hand reading - I only use it with an easel case.
Unfortunately for the Opus, I already have a portable reader - my iPhone. Depending on how B&N handles my button cracking issue, I'll probably sell the Opus and keep the Nook (relying on Calibre to store my collection) until someone comes out with a device with both their strengths.
