Barnes & Noble sold a lot of Nook Simple Touches. So, apparently, not everyone shared JSWolf's disdain for them.
I owned (past tense) a couple Kobos (the original WiFi and the Glo). I wasn't thrilled with either because the software seemed laggy, the screen seemed unresponsive and (for some) every time there was an update it seemed a feature was lost or something went wrong. I didn't have any real problems with updates, but I saw others' horror stories and it ticked me off when they took away Chess on the Glo (which was a feature they advertised). I'm guessing the newer Kobos have gotten past most of this (I don't know, I'm not in the market for one). But my point is, despite my negative experiences with my Kobos, I don't feel the need to post constantly about them in the Kobo forums. I understand that some folks love their Kobos and that's great. I like the fact that there is choice. I just don't care much for Kobo (neither for the devices or the online market).
I still consider the Nook Simple Touch (with and without Glowlight) to be best ergonomically designed eReader that I've ever used. And I like the UI and software (actually I like it better than the newer Glowlights' software). This is why I was excited to see the GlowLight 3 mimicking the design of the NST.
