My opinion is...to figure out what you most want to do on an eeader, if it is mainly reading books I would go with the e-ink with Kindle or the Plain Nook. Their battery charge is great and and the e-ink is easy to read.
For myself, I have the Nook Color because I mainly wanted a small device that I could hold in my lap at night, that had a great color screen to check the internet, read pdf's and occasionally play a game. I read a lot but I still prefer the old fashioned "book in hand" because I have a wonderful Public library and like to get my books for free. I know there are tons of free ebooks on the internet, but most of them are not what I would read anyway. I love having a nice size screen and love showing others my digital scrapbook pages that I've downloaded to my Nook Color.
Just this week Nook color got some great upgrades that have really improved web searching and doing other great stuff. In fact yesterday I was sitting in the car waiting for my husband to finish work, I had my nookcolor with me, was able to use the wi-fi and I watched a couple of the 2011 Sweet Shoppe Member videos! It was so cool!
The only thing I dislike about my Nook Color is the battery life, although I knew going into it that the charge lasts significantly less than a regular Nook or Kindle. I adjusted to that by Powering off everytime I'm done using it.
Good luck on your choice!
