The nook touch is a no-frills reader, but what it does, it does very well. I have the original, and I haven't touched it since I got the touch.
I see your point about the music, I never used it on the original, but I can see some people listening to some music while reading a book. I myself listen sometimes to music, but I use a dedicated MP3 player.
Bottom line, the nook touch is a very good reader (not perfect, granted), it does have less features than the original, but the interface, battery life, ergonomics and simplicity compensate for that and put it heads and shoulders above the original.
