There are two types of nooks: the regular nook and the nook Color.
The nook uses the eInk just like the Kindle and the nook Color is more like an iPad (and even becomes a competent tablet when jailbroken). For anyone that has never seen eInk, go to Barne's and Noble now and look at their eInk nooks. I'm not saying buy a nook if you want an eReader, just look at the eInk. It's pretty amazing. It looks exactly like paper and there's no eye strain what-so-ever. The only issue is if there's a light shining directly on it, there can be a small glare.
The nook Color uses a touch screen similar to the iPad and I was worried about eye strain on that too but apparently it's not bad. My wife has been using it and she has had no complaints. I haven't used it for long periods of time so I can't speak anything about it.

So if we use a bright headlight to read at night rather than a lamp, it would probably glare pretty badly?

It really depends on the angle, but yes, if you have a bright light shining directly from your forehead there will probably be a glare.
You can still use book lights with the nook and other eReaders, they just can't shine directly on the surface since it's still a screen. I have this booklight which is insanely bright but as long as it isn't pointed directly at the screen I don't see a glare.
