The K3's speed of operation is its biggest advantage over the Nook, in my opinion. I'm waiting to see if the upcoming firmware update for the Nook brings its speed close to that of the K3. Then I'll make up my mind whether to buy a K3.
The Nook firmware update 1.5 is out. The Nook now has lightning page turns, sorting capabilities, better battery life and more contrast. In short it now does everything I liked about the Kindle 3. So I now have $139 to spend on other electronic gizmos.
