While I agree the Kindle Basic is a great eReader, I think a Nook Simple Touch is also a very good eReader. And it's basically the same "technological age" as the Kindle Basic (both originally from mid-2011) -- and the NST has more advanced features (touch screen, several fonts, microSD slot, better control over margins and line spacing and book covers (graphical display) -- as opposed to list view only).

But, since it appears, that Amazon does business in India, the Kindle Basic would probably be the best choice. I do think, hardware-wise, the Nook Simple Touch is a viable choice as an eReader -- leaving aside the online infrastructure, where Amazon is vastly superior.
