The only possible downside is the Nook does not currently have the Pearl e-ink screen.

Also, if you are not in the U.S. the Nook may not be an option

The Kindle doesn't lock me into Amazon for my purchases.

Where is Elmer Fudd when you need him?

What was that children's book with the vampire bunny and celery? Or am I just imagining such a thing?

OP - The screen alone might not have been worth double the price, but it might be worth it for a better user experience. Nothing is worth anything if you don't like it. I think I'd rather have no ereader at all than have one that I don't like using.

Yes! Thank you! (I'm always happy to get evidence that I didn't just imagine most of my childhood. My mother is a chronic history revisionist and my dad had a selective memory so it's more of an issue than one might think.)

I've been reading Watership Down and that bunnies photo made my day.

Those were actually wild Alaskan bunnies lol. Someone had couple pet bunnies escape, and before we knew it there were about 50 wild bunnies running all around the neighborhood.

It will forever be known as the Great Garden Downfall of '07, because not a single neighborhood garden survived that crazy summer.

I read that there were no rabbits in Australia until someone moved there and decided to bring rabbits over to hunt. Some got away and now rabbits are out of control.

Yea and the Aussie government "accidentally" unleashed a genetically modified virus to put an end to the problem once and for all. There's even an old sci-fi novel based on this story.

Meh, the library card is overplayed IME. My libraries offer an unimpressive collection with 3 month long wait times, I know not all are like that supposedly, but it still wasn't the downfall of my choice in the Kindle3.

Isn't that the story of Coney Island in NY too?
