I went with the Nook for a few reasons: In-store support. ePub is an open format, supported on Google Books. Support for other book stores besides B&N (via side-loading and Adobe Digital Editions). SD-Card support. Plus, it's Android and has a small hacking community. The newer Kindles are sexier, but there is very little exclusive Kindle content. Nevertheless, here's hoping that someone hacks the Android Kindle app to run on a Nook.
