All ebooks being equal...the one advantage Barnes and Noble and the Nook has over Amazon's Kindle is shareability. It's still pretty much in a beta stage, but many of the books you purchase on B&N have a nice "share" button, which means you can loan your ebooks to other people to read on their computers, Pre's, iPhones, Droids, or wherever.
That being said - I'm willing to loan the few I've already purchased that are shareable if anyone's interested and willing to loan back!
