My main reason for the switch was due to my irritation that I pay B&N for a membership card that doesn't work on their nook. It only works on physical items. I buy an average of five books a month physically (mainly art/design books which are upwards of $50 a piece) then my leisure reading I get mainly on my eReader so I still have walls left in my apartment.
After doing some research last summer and finding out how my prime membership is useful on my kindle (where my B&N card wasn't at all) and other things I switched. Not only do I love the kindle more than I ever did my nook, which crashed consistently when it got close to holding 100 books, but being a writer as well who hates carrying a laptop I found a kindle case with a blue-tooth keyboard that connects to my google drive.
Now whenever inspiration I can whip out the kindle and work. Plus I felt like the Nook store charged you for everything that might be deemed profitable, instead of functional.
The only irritation I had over my switch was converting my calibre library and finding out how difficult amazon can be with about letting non-amazon files into the book library. I hate using the documents folder to read books so it took a sold two days for me to convert, reorganize, and place my books into the sneaky library folder.
