User Reviews: Barnes and Noble Nook Simple Touch 2 GB Black E-Reader
Disappointed
Pros: batter life is great, easy to download and user friendly
Cons: freezes up constantly, poor customer service
this is my first E-Reader! I was so excited to be able to read book after book with something so small and simple. However within the first week the screen started freezing up, while I can use the side page turners still, if I am not in the middle of reading a book I have to wait till it 'goes to sleep' for it to start working again. I went to Barnes and Noble within the first week of buying it and they said I had to call a number to talk to tech support. I have called 2 times and they have not resolved the problem. So here I am a month later with my nook feezing up everytime I use it. Disappointed with it and customer service.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThe best eReader on the market
Pros: $99 without ads, fastest page turn, least flashing, best battery life
Cons: no MP3 player
Nook Simpletouch ($99 without ads) has the latest generation touch screen display, no page turn lag, it weights less, its battery lasts twice as long (two months on one charge), it has microSD slot and it doesn't blink on each page turn - much better than current Kindle 3 or Kindle Keyboard. Nook Touch is still better designed than even the new Kindle Touch with battery lasting two months with ONE hour reading a day with Wi-Fi off thus it's still twice as long as new Kindle's two months with HALF and hour a day with Wi-Fi off. It looks like Kindle didn't get any battery improvement in the new model, they only changed the test condition. More, Kindle Touch still flashes black on each page turn while Nook Touch reduces the flashing by 80%. Nook Touch and Nook Color (unlike Kindle) have microSD card slot to take a card (class 6 or above) up to 32 GB. Also, If you walk in with the Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you’re allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi and you get free technical support in case of issues in any of the store.
You can buy Nook’s at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Walmart, BestBuy, Staples, OfficeMax, Fred Mayer, P.C. Richard, Radio Shack, Target, Fry's, etc. stores and web sites.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoPrice

Pros: Ease of use, largest selection of books
Cons: no 3G (but I can live without it)
I love my new Nook. I was saving up to pay the $99 for the regular version, but I was lucky enough to snag the $79 limited edition version B&N was selling on Black Friday only. I, honestly, couldn't be happier. The battery life on this reader is amazing. I am an avid reader, several hours per day with the WiFi on and off, and have only had to charge it once. The resolution is crisp and paper-like and page turning is fast and easy. And glare is no problem as it is with the color models out there, Kindle and Nook alike. It has no 3G, unfortunately, but since you can find free WiFi pretty much everywhere, it has not been a problem. And I can go into any B&N and read any eBook for free for an hour, plus great prices on their books anyway (half price for a hardback, can't beat that). All in all, this is one of the best values for an e-reader out there and I gladly would have paid full price for it. Thank you B&N!
