Greetings from Bali. We absolutely love our Aluratek Digital eBook Reader. It's been indispensable for us while living abroad where good English reads are pricey and hard to find. It's an excellent alternative to the higher priced big name brands (which often claim will not work outside the US). It survived our 12,000 mile/30+ hour trip...all on a single charge. The 100 free books included are a decent selection, and made a nice start to our library. The wide variety of formats recognized by the device make it easy for us to find books from thousands of sources on the web. There's no need for complicated conversion software or expensive download fees. We were a little apprehensive about the 5" screen, but it turned out to be the perfect size for our needs. A larger color screen would be more appropriate for those primarily reading digital periodicals, but for take-anywhere, carefree, paperback style reading we couldn't ask for a better device. The standard USB plug does away with the need for bulky power adapters and travel converters, allowing charges from any desktop, laptop, or public charging station. We've yet to test the waterproof to 15' claims, but is has survived our kids, a spill, some rain, and a couple falls. The price is the best feature, and our only regret is not buying another while we were back stateside. see less

Bought Aug 2011 still works flawlessly Nov 26, 2012. This Black Friday sale my husband got one too for [$$]. Easy to use, easy to read. BN has a huge selection of e-books. I could read e-books on it for free from the library exclusively if I liked. Never driving to and from the library again and no late fees. Don't worry about internal storage. You can archive and unarchive your BN Nook bought books at will. Insert a microSD card for your own side loaded books. I manage mine with a program called calibre. Nook uses ePub format and Kindle does not. Far more books in ePub. I'm a tech geek so I'll buy a full blown tablet to do the rest on not a color e reader as every brand is not really a full blown tablet and restrict you to their store. I like my Nook Simple Touch as is not fragile, nothing to scratch on it, toss it in my stuff even easier than a paperback. Fills the gap between paper book and tablet. see less

I owned a Kindle, but was dissatisfied with the quality. The NOOK is easy to hold in the hand, very easy to use, and the screen is great to read on. Also, if I have any questions on what books to read, I go to my local [...] in New York and the staff their is great. Definitely gets my recommendation. see less

I have both the Nook Glowlight as well as Kindle and I find the nook far superior. I like the form factor and its responsiveness more than the kindle. see less

My Nook with Glowlight is the best e-reader I've owned. I have an iPad, but the Nook is easier on my eyes, and I can still read in bed at night without an extra light on. It's more lightweight than my first e-reader, so I can keep it in my purse without it adding much weight or taking up much space. I always have books to read wherever I go! Also, it has so much memory, I don't think I could ever fill it up. The battery lasts a very long time, too. see less
