This ebook reader is great! I love how it keeps your PDF's in file folders like on your computer. Makes it easier to find things. You don't need the shelve feature for the PDF's. Has a very clear screen. The touch screen is the most responsive I have ever seen. I had the first nook and I have had a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. I like this better than both. This also offers the option to read books from your local library which the Amazon Kindle doesn't. I love the barnes and noble book store and the ease of buyer a book rather than the [...]. The ereader is shaped to fit your hand perfect.

I like the e-reader Nook Simple Touch

About Me Practical

Verified Buyer

Pros

  • Can Lookup Word's Meaning

Cons

  • No Respond Touch At Times

Best Uses

  • Reading On The Go

Comments about NOOK Simple Touch�:

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.

            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!

                Comments about NOOK Simple Touch�:

                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

                  I just wanted to know if you can download games and other apps on a NOOK Simple Touch because I heard you could only do that on a NOOK Color and a NOOK Tablet. Also, if you cannot download games and other apps, does the NOOK Simple Touch at least come with any games like sudoku and chess and other games? Thank you!

                    Some libraries do not have e-books available. I would suggest calling your local library to see if that is something they offer. Also, there are online libraries that offer this service.

                    The NOOK Simple Touch is an e-reader, not a tablet. It's designed solely for use as a reader. If you want to access email, play games etc you need to upgrade to one of the NOOK tablet products.
