my own opinion

Hi,

Since the Kindle Touch was only available since November and I'd guess
the Nook Touch is out for less than a year. no one has any really long term experience. I have my Kindle Touch since mid-november and my Nook touch since early December. Both seem to hold up well. I believe that the best way to have "long" life is with a good cover, which is always kept closed when not reading.

That said, I just bought a Kindle non-touch for my grand daughter (12 years old) because I thought it would be more likely to remain functional for longer.

I am a technology geek and I wanted to try out TOUCHs, I'm not sorry, but unlike with the Iphone and Ipad devices, TOUCH adds very little to the eink reading experience.

BTW IMHO the Nook is the nicest ereader to hold and read from, while the Kindle has the best all around eco-system package
