I loved the 1st generation Nook
I loved the Simple Touch (thought it was sooooo ugly at first, but it was soooo convenient to hold without a cover!)
I didn't love the first Nook Glow (screen contrast, or rather text saturation not as good as the non-Glow STR)

It can go either way with this one! It all comes down to how good the screen is.
As much as I like white devices, I do remeber when I tried a White Kobo Touch a couple of years ago I had to sell it becasue the white bezel played tricks with my perception of contrast. I'm afraid that could happen now as well. The light should help, but I really need to hold it in my hands and see for myself! Preferably with my trusted Simple Touch beside it for comparison!

(The 1st generation Nook was white and pretty but had a thin black edge around the screen, and that was enough to get that right perception of contrast for me)

Edit: WHAT??????? 500 MB for sideloaded content and that's it???? When I saw it didn't have an sd card I took for granted that the internal storage would be large enough. But NOOOOOOO... OK, for ME that is enough since I don't keep my library on the device, but I completely understand that it's not enough for many!!
