    Still the best Nook ever made BUT as of July 1 2018 a warning!

    Barnes & Noble have officially deliberately stop supporting this particular version even though it's perfectly fine and usable, they're just trying to force people into buying newer versions of the hardware. This Hardware is perfectly fine and it works great and I love it. But for reasons that probably have more to do with greed than Common Sense, Barnes & Noble have cut off all of the loyal users of this particular generation. Why would I buy another ecosystem ever again if they're simply going to arbitrarily stop supporting their devices? And before you say oh it sold it should not be supported anymore, the E Ink screen is perfectly fine and is still extremely great to look at. There's nothing wrong at with this device whatsoever other than Barnes & Noble wants you to buy a new one. No thank you. Their new devices don't even have an SD slot and they severely limit the amount of content that you can sideload. Their new devices are designed to rope you into their ecosystem and pay extremely high prices for their books. I'll say goodbye to you now Barnes & Noble. I tried to support you, I really did. the device itself is absolutely wonderful. The color screen is a nice touch and the Pearl e ink display is absolutely gorgeous. It has plenty of space and it feels very solid in the hand and is very well-constructed. That's why I'm going to miss it very very much now that I can't download any of my books anymore but I'm forever locked into the ones that are loaded on it now, I'm very disappointed. But the device itself is definitely five stars. :)

    Amazing for readers!

    The one I own is actually my second, I returned my first one due to light scratches that were distracting when glowlight is on. That being said, THE SCREEN IS VERY FRAGILE! If you're only using the simple touch with glowlight without the glowlight option (in which case you should buy the cheaper simple touch only option...) it's not a big deal, but if there is even a tiny scratch on your screen, turning on even the lowest screen brightness on glowlight will make it extremely illuminated and distracting. For this reason, I have purchased a good case from barnes and nobles in addition to a screen protector from amazon for the nook. Everything else is fantastic. This is my first e-book experience, and the touch screen is much more receptive than I believed it'd be and there are so many options including page font, font size, margin size. The epub compatibility is amazing and I have found many ebooks for free online. You can also customize the wallpaper that shows when your nook is resting. I chose this over the kindle paperwhite because of the epub compatibility and the page flipping buttons. For around $50 used on ebay, the nst with glowlight is an amazing e-reader!

    Love It!

    I stepped on my Glo Light and needed another. As you can see I prefer the Nook. This model has an SD card slot which is a big reason why I did not go to the newer model. I have sideloaded many books to the card from other sites or you can download from B & N to the Nook or your pc. I also enjoy the ease of borrowing from my library at all hours. The process is very easy. The battery lasts for days and I read hours at a time. It is very ease to use. You can either touch the screen or press the side to turn pages. It has many features including "go find" (a certain phrase or word), "go to page", a dictionary and much more. The screen is easy on the eyes and the light is a pleasure nothing like a pc or color tablet. It can be read in full sunshine with no problems. I take it with me everywhere.

    Barnes and Noble Nooks are better than Amazon Kindles

    I vowed to never buy a Kindle again because they cost so much money and do not replace the batteries in them anymore. And yes I even bought the kits to try replacing them myself and it is too complicated for the Kindle Fire Touchscreen. After doing much research on e readers I decided to try the Barnes and Nobel Nook with GloLight and I am very pleased with the results. You can read it both in the daylight and at night when using the GloLight feature. I was able to convert all my Kindle books to the new Nook by using one of the many free online converters. Plus I was able to find an affordable book type cover to protect my Nook at an affordable price.

    Excellent reader, has all the features I need

    I love the eInk screen, saving myself from the annoying light of a backlit screen. One of the features I truly enjoy about the Nook simple touch is the ability to turn using the soft buttons (which naturally fall at your holding position). This allows me to sit at whatever angle and read uninterrupted by a finger swipe or a page turn. As the device allows me to carry many books with me without the added weight or bulk, I devour entire series with this device or always have the flexibility to change to whatever I feel like. I see no issue with this device and would buy it again.

    Excellent!

    I had an older Nook, without the full touch screen. This one is much easier to use, especially for internet access. The screen is very bright for easy reading. It's also compact, about the size of a paperback, and quite light weight.

    Noble Nook

    I made a good purchase. This gadget has all the features that I need. One drawback: FB2 format is not supported.
