Is the Nook Better than Kindle?

Although the Kindle remains Amazon's #1 selling item, among e-Readers, it seems to be #2, second to Barnes & Nobles' Nook.

Published in Consumer Reports' latest article, the Nook has, for the first time, scored better than Amazon's Kindle successfully digging itself out of its first version setback back in 2009 that threatened to tarnish its image among e-Book consumers.

But why is the Nook scoring better than the Kindle according to the report?
Basically, because it allows users to freely borrow e-books from public libraries, something Amazon hasn't made available in the Kindle, yet.

Why is the Nook better than the Kindle according to tech analysts?
Because it fits in your pant's back pocket (fancy way to say smaller), it's lighter, it's one-hand operable, and did I mention it's touch-display based instead of key-buttons based?
