Anyone made the switch from nook to Kindle 3?

Currently have a nook. Thinking about making the switch to Kindle.

My reasoning:
  • higher contrast and faster screen
  • overall better book selection
  • better battery life

This may just be wishful thinking on my part, but I'm also hoping that the books will be of higher quality.

For example, the copy of Atlas Shrugged I am currently reading on my nook is rife with typos/OCR errors. I probably would have been better off with a pirated copy, atleast that would have been proofread. Do you see these kinds of problems on the Kindle books, too?

On the other hand, the idea of jumping onto an even more locked down device isn't very appealing.

Any thoughts?
