Device: Nook Simple Touch Glow
Had my Nook ST Glow for 5 days as of this writing. First hotspot crack appeared the day after I opened it. At this point I had not even taken it out of the house and had only casually used it to see what the UI looks like. Second hotspot crack happened just now. I put the device down to nuke some lunch and when I came back 3 minutes later there was a new hotspot crack right smack in the middle of the screen! It cracked on it's own with no help from me. I am extremely disappointed in the crap quality of this device. I don't use the touchscreen part and have been reading the same book for 5 days now using the hard keys only. It appears that the manufacturing process of the screen assembly induces some unseen stresses that eventually (sooner or later) manifest as a small crack letting light pour out. I'm returning this device to BB as soon as I get a day off and will purchase a Kindle PW. In this modern day one should have limited tolerance for substandard products.
