Another thing to consider is size. One of the things I prefer about the kindle vs. the Nook, is how small and slim it is. I can actually slide it into a front pants pocket or a coat pocket. The nook isn't large, but it is thicker and heavier than the kindle, as are the tablets. If portability isn't important to you, then this advantage is moot.
