This pretty much sums it up for me. I have had an NST for over two years and liked it. I first bought a Kindle because I was thinking of self-publishing (mostly making eBooks from old public domain books) and I figured I needed to add a Kindle to see what the mobi formatted books looked like when converted to eReader format. What I discovered with the Kindles (and all the E-Ink Kindles I've tried have also been solid) is that Amazon's book store, "Send to Kindle" and the whole infrastructure is amazing. Nothing like it with B&N. But, for just reading, the Nook Simple Touch was/is great and compares well with the Kindles. I can't speak for the new Nook Glowlight -- I haven't used it.
