I'm sad to see it go, too. I read primarily on my iPad, because it's convenient to carry one device that can meet several needs. But I picked up an ST last year for $50, NIB on eBay, primarily for sunlight use. I absolutely love it. It fits in my back pocket, weighs almost nothing, is great in bright locations, and won't kill me if it gets sandy or wet or otherwise damaged, since it was so cheap. Wouldn't want to read on my iPad around the pool. I shove the ST in my pocket, toss it in my bag, throw it in the back seat, etc. It's not treated gently.

I side load everything onto it, so it doesn't depend on a connection with B&N (although 90% of my book purchases are made at B&N since my two sisters and mother are also on my Nook account, and only load content directly from B&N). Hopefully, it will last for a while. Maybe I should pick up another one now, on a fire sale somewhere.
