I have a nook and like it a lot.
My suggestions:
1) If you're going to buy a lot of books, go with the Amazon Kindle because they seem even in how they price books. BN is getting even but for a while after I purchased mine (in March) they were erratic and often times more expensive than Amazon.
2) If you want e-ink but more functionality, the nook is the way to go. It's android based and currently has more features than Kindle.
3) Most importantly, if you are going to read casually with it, consider the iPad. That's probably the biggest thing I have found out. I read casually (and slowly). Because of this, the e-ink isn't as big a deal as I thought it was - though I do appreciate it. Hence, a device that can do a great deal more than simply read (and I don't consider browsing the web on e-ink to be sufficient to count as "more than reading") is worth checking into - even for the price.
