Is the battery likely to be still good? Is it worth buying a charging cable for this free find? I don’t suppose an old wide-style Apple cable would fit? (iPod, I guess. I have that, somewhere.)

2012 sounds like it might be a Simple Touch with Glowlight. They were pretty solid readers. A Simple Touch (without the Glowlight) was my first reader. It still works, but I don't use it much. The batteries are pretty easy to replace (I did it once on a Nook Simple Touch I gave my son). It's a Pearl screen at 167 ppi. I liked the fonts, they were darker than the built-in fonts from the Kindles of that era.

The charging cable is just a micro USB.
(I should say, this information applies if this is NOT a Nook Tablet. If it's one of the early Nook tablets, they used their own odd power cable.)
