Bought the Simple Touch NOOK on Black Friday for the great price of $60, including AC adapter, and am pleased in exactly the ways you have mentioned. It seems as if B&N / NOOK are sailing stormy seas now, and it is possible that the NOOK business will contract further, the consequences of which for current NOOK owners I’m unsure, I suppose as long as our devices work, we’ll be able to read all manner of ePub content. But I am sad that B&N hasn’t figured out how to parlay NOOK’s technical excellence into greater market share of device and eBook sales. And B&N routinely prices NOOK editions of titles I care about $1 and more higher than the same titles for Kindle. No one at B&N seems to notice or care that it keeps asking NOOK users to pay a premium price to use its device — and for what benefit?
