Strangely enough, I can't find "Nook" or "Simple Touch" (case-insensitive search, of course) anywhere in the review. In the comments, it's a commenter (Intending_Acceleration) that mentions his own Nook Simple Touch, not the author.

(and I_A makes points about the Aura that I find also applies to my Touch in regards to reformatting speed and load times, so it's sad to see that those aren't actually improved with the faster CPU - which, as I expected, is probably being bogged down having to deal with the higher resolution and larger screen size)
