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.

    This was a birthday present and I was expecting a Kindle, but with the touch screen, I think this is so much better. And there are no advertisements to worry about. Great job Barnes and Noble.

      Comments about NOOK Simple Touch�:

      The new Nook is very easy to use; I was reading right after the first charge. My husband purchased this for me as a gift. I never really thought about an eReader as I love books. I've always liked the feel of a book in my hand. My husband was tired of the endless books next to the night stand. The Nook seems to have worked out great for both of us. I like to use it and the book clutter will soon go away.

        I bought this for my mom's 76th BDay. So far So Good. She loves to read, likes technology but has little patience. Had to keep it simple,practical and economical. This nook has done just that. She wasn't sure at first but now loves it. Likes that she doesn't need to keep a bookmark handy and that she just needs to press a button and it wakes up when she does and right on her page.

          Reading on the NOOK is a truly exhilarating experience. It is like turning the pages of a real book with the benefit of being able to adjust the size of the font to fit your vision.
          I was an avid reader but my poor vision caused me to lag a bit but now the NOOK has brought back the joy of reading into my life.
          I actually gave nooks to my top performing students to get them reading this summer.

                The Nook is available for ordering on Staples.com where the Kindle WiFi with Special Offers item #984297 or Kindle Paperwhite WiFi item #990324 are available only in a local retail Staples store. The Nook details that it holds up to 1000 books, and the Kindle details that it holds up to 1,400 books.

              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.
