I was lucky enough to get this on clearance and with a coupon, so, it was VERY inexpensive. It's very easy to root to add google market and be able to load kindle and use it like a kindle. I use it almost exclusively for kindle book reading, but, it also can be used to access quite a few google play apps and to check email, etc. With these attributes, it is as good or better than a kindle and has the same advantages as that device in its extremely light weight and very long battery life. If you can also get it at discount, I would highly recommend it.

While Staples is no longer carrying this smaller Nook it would be a good choice for someone who wants a good value basic E-reader using E-ink for good outdoor reading.
It is smaller and lighter weight than the Nook HD which I also have and use more as a tablet. The HD is great for poor light reading since it is backlit. The Simple Touch has ample book capacity and the "no glare" screen for reading outside.

I wanted a simple, basic e-reader, and the Nook Simple Touch fits that description. It's compact and easily held, the controls are simple and the battery life is great. There is ample storage for the amount of books I'll load. The only thing I'd do differently is possibly buy the GlowLight version; though I generally read in a lighted environment, it would be nice to have the option.

Unit looked and sold as new,but it has someone else's name and other information in it. It was probably returned because of the same defect that I found. more spefically, the "touch screen" page turning worked for a while each time unit was turned on, but soon became unresponsive. The page turning buttons still worked, but sometimes required several presses to turn the page. I would have returned it a couple of weeks ago but I hurt myself, and was in the hospital for four days and then moved to a facility for physical therapy, from which place I am writing this.

I enjoy reading on the Nook Simple Touch. I will list the cons first. 1) Sometimes it is difficult to get it to respond to the touch. Need to experiment to find the right pressure to use to get the function you want. 2) If I were to get a different one I would get the one with Glowlight because then you can read it when you don't have other sources of light. On the plus side there are a lot of great features. I especially like being able to look of words easily. Also you can find words or phrases with a search feature so for instance if there is a character introduced several chapters previously you can find the text where they were first introduced. Also I am able to borrow books from my public library. The transfer is super fast. All in all I am happy I bought the Nook Simple Touch e-reader.

My husband didn't want anything real technical. He only wanted something that he could read and download books on. This is exactly what he wanted and needed.

Its not a kindle. That is all I have to say about that. Get yourself a kindle. It is better than cheddar.

I've used the kindle in the past. Then got the original nook. I loved it. I tried the kindle later (3rd gen) and was disappointed. I got the nook simple touch, and it is wonderful. It works with Ebooks from bn and online sources such as project Gutenberg. I love it, and will stick with Nook for years to come!

This device is fantastic for reading. It has incredible battery life, well over a month of being left on as long as the WiFi is turned off so you can travel with it or use it for daily commuting without having to worry about having a charger with. It is extremely light weight and compact, it can be easily held and operated with just a couple of fingers. The e-ink is easy to read, even in daylight, and with the easily adjustable text size you can read while you take a walk. The only "draw back" is that it is just a reader, don't expect pictures, surfing, etc. It is a great READER. I have bought a bunch of them as gifts
