I purchased a used Nook Simple Touch on eBay so I could root it. It arrived about a week ago and it smelled horrible--like cigar smoke or a man cave! I cleaned the bezel and outer shell with Endust wipes and the terrible smell remained. I did a google search finally and found out that it could be removed with isopropyl rubbing alcohol. So I pulled out my squirt bottle, squirted some rubbing alcohol on a napkin and began cleaning the bezel and shell with it. Sure enough--it got rid of some of the smell! At least, it doesn't reek of cigar as much.

I think I'll use the rubbing alcohol a few more times.
