I still love my Nook Glowlight, so much so that when my last one was lost/stolen a few months ago, I got another on eBay (where they’re still pretty sought after, surprisingly - not unusual to see them go for more than £50). I like the shape of the Nook and the way it feels so comfortable to use, and I like that I can stick all my books on the SD card. When I look at the newer ereaders, they all look so blocky and don’t sit as comfortably in the hand. The Glowlight has a real "homely" feel to it, perfect for curling up in an armchair and reading - it sort of becomes invisible so that you forget you’re using an ereader.
Where I get very frustrated with B&N is that they’ve always had these great products, but then they go and screw it up with the most basic things, like not creating an easy to use sorting system, or not allowing you to download books. It’s as if they have this great technical/design department but a really crappy sales/marketing/everything else department. You can see how they could’ve been really successful but it’s like they didn’t want to bother.
