Thank you very much z3r010Given the reviews on their own site, I wouldn't go anywhere near one - Barnes & Noble | Customer Reviews | NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight by Barnes & Noble
IMO for an e-reader the Kindle has always got to be the best bet, ok they may slightly dearer but you know they (Amazon) will always have support unlike Barnes and Noble or others that could go bust or discontinue at any time.
Thank you Lady FitzgeraldA warning about the Nook. Barnes and Noble are having sales problems with the Nook and its e-book store. Most experts are predicting its demise. If that does happen, the nook e-books would be unreadable after the you device died. Also, Nook's DRM is tied to the credit card number used to purchase it. Once the card expires, you would have to keep track of its number to access your books.
Although I personally do not like the Kindle e-readers and it's highly unlikely I will ever own one, it is still the most popular brand, with the Paperwhite currently in the lead. Amazon's Kindle bookstore is the largest one readily available. Despite my dislike of Kindles and Amazon's own little walled garden, they are still what I recommend to most people because of the store's wide selection of books and the Kindles' ease of use. Kindle e-book readers and e-books are pretty much plug and play when used together. Plus, there are apps that will allow one to read their Kindle books on their PCs, android devices (phones and tablets), and iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, and Macs).
The two last posts changes things quite a lot ! - Thank you.
