    Simple to use, easy on the eyes in any lighting conditions, I especially like that it doesn't have a ton of unnecessary features like the Kindle Fire I had used previously. If you just want to read a book, and not surf the web or get bombarded with ads, the Nook is a great option. Worth noting that some sources of e-book will require you to change the format, like Libbey for example, but anything you get from Barnes and Noble will already be in the right format.

    Great Glowlight

    This is my 3rd Nook and it works like the previous models, with which I'm familiar. It also has page turning buttons, if you prefer that over touching the screen. The screen on this model is particularly sharp, and I always appreciate the built in dictionary. My only "con" is that I bought an open box Nook, which is basically a "factory second," and the flaw is that the coating on the back of the e-reader was peeling off. A big patch was missing and it continued to flake. I cut a rectangle of Contact paper, stuck it on, and that solved the problem.

    Best Nook with excellent features

    iT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED - IT WAS MY FAVORITE nOOK THAT THEY EVER SOLD BECAUSE OF THE buttons on the side and my old one is about to die, so I love this one.

    Lightweight with great features

    Easy to operate, love the ability to have multiple books at my fingertips at all times. The screen is clear with easily adjustable font and font size for those that need large print reading material. No problems reading in direct light or sunlight which is my favorite aspect of this handy, little device.

    Love, love my Nook

    It’s just the right size to fit in a pocket of my purse. I love that it holds so many books, thoroughly enjoy the adjustable light feature to help me see it better.

    Sharper screen than Kindle.

    In short, I like this Nook very much. The interface is a little clunky. But definitely fine once you know it. In terms of reading a book, I prefer this Nook over the similar Kindle that I own. For me, the screen is easier and more comfortable to read than the Kindle. Using it online at the BN store works very well also. Another big plus is that this Nook has physical buttons for page turning and going to the home screen. I prefer that. Charging time and battery life are great. Very easy to set up. You will need a BN account, which is free of course.

    Not rated, never came on.

    Could never get connected to WiFi so don't know if the Nook is a good value or not. Looks good, easy to hold, but that's as far as I got. Nook was a reconditioned ereader, not new.

    Nook reader

    Love this nook! Much more comfortable to hold than my old one due to the rubber edges. I'm addicted to reading and it's so easy to carry this with me. Love that you can change by page or chapter.

    Am very happy with it overall

    Both this one and my previous Nook Simple Touch had batteries that only lasted for hours not weeks.

    Love my Nook

    I like to read at night in order to fall asleep. The orange glow of the night-time light allows me to do that. This Nook is very light weight, easier to hold for long periods of time than a tablet or a book.
