I bought a Kindle NT just to have something that I could read under most conditions and not have a lot of angst if it was lost, stolen or broken. If you want a touch screen, I would go for the Nook simple touch simply because that slightly rubbery covering makes it easier to hold and less likely to drop. You can get either one right now for roughly $60-70 or less depending on the deals of the day.

You can also get a Sony 350 Silver ereader through Amazon for about $50.
