I think the dealer will give you another if it fails in 30 days. After that the risk is fairly low. Yes there are failures in all of the hardware out there no matter who makes them. I would suggest you check with the place you buy from for their policy and then decide. It is less that half the price of a refurbished Nook. But if the Nook suits you better then go for it.
Having said that you really need to make sure you are getting what you want assuming it works. The Nook is a e Ink screen with great qualities for reading in the sunlight and good battery life. The literati is more like the nook color with an LCD color screen with a backlight. Its battery life is likely about 6 hours or less before it need recharging. It is backlit and readable in the dark without a book light. These are very different qualities and should override the costs I would think. Images on the literati are very nice, as good as a digital frame would be. you can collect a set together in a zip file and rename the extension to cbz for viewing.
