I replaced my Nook Classic with the new simple touch and it is IMO a no briner that the new Nook is far superior. It is easier to use, lighter, nicer to hold, has much longer battery life, better eink screen etc.. I think it is clearly worth an extra 20, 30, or 40 bucks.
I passed on my classic to my daughter (13) and she has already ready 15 books this summer. We share the same B&N account so we have access to all the same content, no need to use lending feature within the family.
I have an SD card on the NST and over 300 books side loaded from Calibre. In the 6 weeks I have owned the NST I have had the issue where the side loaded books are not recognized ONCE, I restarted the Nook and have not seen the issue again and did not loose my page number, so in my experience it is not really an issue. I expect that to be addressed in a future update.
I have only seen the ghosting issue once as well.
Just thought I would provide some anecdotal input.
