OTOH, if you root the Nook, you can put the Kindle application on it. I don't know if you can root the Black and White Nook. The XDA development seems to only be on the Color Nook.
The B&W Nook is not an android device as far as I know, so no rooting.

For readability in direct sunlight, you need a Kindle.
the B&W nook uses the same e-ink type of screen as the B&W kindle, so it's also good in sunlight. It's the color devices that suck in the sun, I believe.
