I have owned an original nook 3G and kindle for iphone for a year.  This was so that I could buy books from kindle that weren't available on my nook. Last month I got the K3 3G - an I LOVE it.  It downloads faster, it's a little bit smaller and slimmer, and it's easier to search the kindle store than B&N.  I still use my nook to download books in epub from smashwords and booksneeze, and for my use, the nooks battery seems to last longer than my kindle's.

Overall, I love both - but kindle wins.
