I just ordered the new NOOK Simple Touch (yes, it's shipping now, 6/1 instead of 6/10) as a companion to my Nook Color. I realized this Memorial day weekend that I still want an e-ink display for reading outside. I was sitting outside and I had my NC with the brightness maxed out and it was still really hard to read (I also have the anti-glare screen protector) and I was sitting under a tent, not direct sunlight, but the brightness was still too much to read the NC comfortably so I couldn't get into my book. I still love my NC and I prefer it at nighttime because of the backlit display and to read magazines, but I definitely want something I can read outside or during the day. Another thing I have realized with the NC, especially after adding apps to it, is that I get distracted very easily and I find myself reading less novels than I used to, because I check my email, browse apps, magazines, go on the web to look at clothes, etc, which it's great, but I want to be able to immerse myself in a book like I used to. Lastly, my daughter (she's 4) has apps and books in the NC and sometimes she wants to use the device at the same time that I want to read a book. Due to all these reasons, I decided that the new Nook Simple Touch would be a great addition (not a replacement) to my NC.
