Nook Simple Touch

Ordered Nook Simple Touch at http://www.barnesandnoble.com

Hopefully it will be as good as the Nook Colour which is quite user friendly but its touchscreen has started to fail us.

I am quite resistive to e-Book readers as I felt that the act of reading seems to be distorted when it is done electronically.

The enjoyment I gained in reading is somehow linked to the fact that I am in contact with the physical book.

The flipping of pages, placing of bookmarks, ink pressed pages...

I also don't like the glare/brightness of the e-Book readers' screen.

Somehow my eyes gets tired easily and I won't get to enjoy the reading process for long.

Nook Simple Touch is supposed to have E Ink display whereby users are able to read under the bright sun with no glare.

Planning to use it as my daily transport companion instead of using iPhone as my e-reader.

I certainly hope that it is as light as what the website claims.

Wonder if there will be anyone else who will be interested in getting Nook Simple Touch too?

Thinking of organising a spree...
