Oh heck no. The nook STR is awful. The shape is not nice to hold. The UI is ghastly, the partitioned memory is an abomination, and it is no nice for reading because the font rendering engine was not all that good. When comparing the nook STR to my 650/T1, it looks like the nook is using a different font even though they are using the same font.
