But unless you opt for the low-priced Kindle Touch with ads and special offers, the Amazon device is pricier; $139 for an ad-free Wi-Fi version. And the Nook Simple Touch scored higher overall than its Kindle competitor.

I got the Nook Touch for 60 bucks through the Target deal-- anxious to try it.

Ambivalent about Kindle ads-- goofy looking but I'm sure there's some good deals coming for the holidays.

Really like the look of the Kindle touch much better, but it's lack of turn buttons kills it for me.

Lack of audio kills the Nook Touch for me.

I've had both but chose the kindle Touch mainly for the ecosystem. I rooted the N2E and the Kindle App's fonts were not dark enough for me, so I went for the real deal. Otherwise I would have stayed with the Nook STR
