I gave my sister my NST because she wanted a touch screen (arthritis) instead of the buttons on my kindles. I missed my Nook so much, I bought another one today, this time a Glo. I do like the kindles, but the fonts available for the Nook are so much better for my vision issues. I use the Nook HD+ for audio and pdf files and magazines.

I found I never used the buttons on my NST, but some people do so having it there as an option I think was great. Most of the elderly folks I know though prefer the touch screen once they get the hang of it. But, every add on adds cost to the unit.

FYI - the new Glo has 4 gigs - about 2.5 gigs of space for down or sideloading, the rest is system operation.
