Yes, I also like to read on an e-reader. The tablets do NOT appeal to me for pure reading. I agree that the tablet Nooks are fighting a losing battle in the tablet wars, but the e-ink e-reader is still about the best, IMHO. I hope it continues in some guise, but if the whole Nook thing goes belly up, then I'll have to switch to an e-ink Kindle, Kobo, or something like that.
