I still think the Nook Simple Touch is one of the best eReader devices. But you're absolutely right about B&N's infrastructure. It's terrible. They couldn't even get sync to device to work right.

One thing that should be mentioned is that, the NST really wasn't an "entry level" device, even though it was priced that way. Unlike the Kindle Basic, it came with a touch screen and a microSD slot. Its screen was like a Kindle Touch -- but it had no sound, so it somewhere in between a Kindle Basic and Touch. B&N was probably subsidizing them at the price they were selling them for. I was sorry to see them go -- but they're still available used in Pawn Shops, on eBay or on Craigslist.
