I really like both the Nook ST and Glo and still use them. It is nice to hold and the font has always been pleasant on my damaged eyes. I hated the book organization. I love the fact that I could archive books in the cloud to remove books I've read from that very long grid list. First, it was the inability to download my Books. Lately, I download a book and open it only to get a screen where I have to reenter my credit card to unlock the book! I will buy one more book from B&N to use up my credit. Why make it harder for me? Fortunately, I downloaded all my ebooks previously, removed DRM and stuck into Calibre, so I'm not out.

As to the ergonomics, I think it depends on how you hold stuff and the shape of your hand. Clearly it doesn't work for you, Jon. It didn't work so well with my late sister either which is why she didn't want to use it. My Mom liked it, but she needed a light and preferred a touch screen. There were grumblings then that B&N was dropping readers, so I got her a Paperwhite instead of a Glo.

edit: Rebooting to factory settings eliminated the unlock book problem.
