While it sounds great, I'm just worried about attaching more of my life to the iTunes app and iTunes store.

I found the Nook slow, confusing, difficult to use, and definitely not pleasant enough for me to spend time on it reading books. Yeah, that was my experience.

It is definitely much better than a nook. Before Christmas I was planning to get a nook to because it looked way cooler than Kindle. then I tried one of them at a local B&N store and I was disappointed. I have used lot of devices and I can normally figure out "how to use" devices pretty quick. But using a Nook was just hard. I was dumbfounded. And there is no indication whether it is doing something. Even browsing thru the menus was hard. So I bought a Kindle. It is actually very good. The reading experience which should be the main focus of these devices, is very good. It is simple to use (some might say even primitive) and I have already read two books(Your inner fish and The golden Compass). I would definitely recommend the Kindle.
