The one feature that still draws me to the Nook is the ability to loan e-books to another user. There were several of us in the desert with Kindles and I would have liked to be able to pass a book to one of them when I finished with it.

That feature is only useful if several of your friends have a Nook, otherwise it's a non-issue. Since I don't know anyone who has pre-ordered one, I'll probably get her a Kindle.

Kindle's software upgrade allows for the viewing of .pdfs in their native format now. That was another point of the Nook that was appealing that is now not an issue.

Also, the lending feature of the Nook is good for one user for 14 days only. Lend a book to friend - you can't lend that book again to anyone else - ever.
