My story as a US soldier on a deployment

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

I was going to deploy to my third deployment to Iraq in 2011 and I wanted some way to read all my books. As you may know, space is precious when you're talking about military gear. We were very strict on what we could or could not bring on the deployment. Also I need something that could go a long time on a single charge. None of the full tablets were going to cut it and than I discovered the paper white. It claims that you can go several weeks on a single charge (or was it months) I can't remember since it's been son long. There were times on my last deployments where we went almost a month without any electricity. After a successful deployment I can defiantly say that this nook proved it was up to the task. I don't think I charged it more than twice and the second charge was just because I had the time and means. The tablet was also very well built. As you may know, Iraq has lots of sand. There were even a few times where I dropped the tablet in the sand. The device kept on trucking and did not give up.

After my deployment I put it away in a drawer and forgot about it until I discovered it after I recently moved to my new town house. I would recommend this for anyone who want's a cheaper tablet for reading and does not mind not having sound or video. I currently have the finances and the means to get a much fancier and expensive tablet but I still love using my paper white. I do a lot of reading in the evening and I like how my eyes don't get strained from looking at a lit screen. I'm the type of person who can sit down and read for hours and hours.

My New Nook

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

After nearly six years my first generation Nook finally gave out. It had been a steady and faithful (if slightly huge) companion and my first foray into the world of e-books. I tried using the Nook app for my Nexus 7 tablet but unlike the Kindle app, it was unwieldy and rather user-unfriendly. Not to mention needing the internet to actually READ the books I already bought. So I figured it was time to invest in another Nook--the Simple Touch. No bells and whistles. Just a good, basic touchscreen e-reader with a very clear screen. It's a fairly light little machine, weighs about the same as my Kindle. There are two aspects that makes Nook superior to Kindle: one is the expandable memory card slot. I've always liked the ability to add e-books from other vendors to my Nook. The second is the ability to customize screensavers. Yes, it seems like such a minor thing, but I just like the personalization. I'm on Day Two of my new Nook and so far I like it.

Update 6/14/15: So far, so good. The battery life is awesome. I do charge it every day but I really don't have to. I purchased a screen protector for it and am waiting for a cool decal skin and a case. I'm one who firmly believes in protecting their electronic gadgets.

Really wanted to love this.

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is replacing my Nook first edition (which in my opinion, is the best version by far) and while I like the size and feel of it, the operation leaves something to be desired. Page turns are not instantaneous and there is a weird, albeit brief flash of the screen every time I change pages. The page turn is actually faster on my first edition. I was also having issues with some books where I received an error when I tried to turn the page, almost like the page didn't exist. I would have to reset my nook, used the "Go To" function to skip to the page AFTER the one I wanted to read, and then go back a page just to pick up where I left off. And BN customer service is completely unhelpful when it comes to their slightly older e-readers, because everybody wants you to upgrade to their newest tablet editions with backlit screens. If I wanted to read books on a tablet, I would do that, but what I want is an e-ink ereader specifically for reading books. I have been a nook fan since the beginning and I still totally am. I really want to love this, but until BN works out their software issues, I just can't.

Technology issues

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I purchased this model when it first came out from Barnes and Noble. It suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason, which should’ve been my first warning. I really liked the size and how the screen wasn’t backlit which made it look more like a real book. So, I decided to give it another shot and bought the same model from amazon. It worked for about 4 years this time, but the screen suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason. I don’t use it every day and store it properly, so there’s no reason it should stop working. Disappointed in the tech problems and I would recommend buying a different model.

Used Item Still Going Strong After Several Years

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this used from a student. The seller added a handy case, which I've since personalized with a single sticker.

Battery life: Great. I've gone for weeks without recharging it. Keep in mind that below a certain percentage (maybe 5%), the battery notification will not go away, making the device unusable without recharging. Happens infrequently because of the long life.

Screen: I bought this specifically because the screen had no backlight, and I felt that was important to protect my eyes. If you feel the same way, this reader is perfect for you, and it will definitely help your sleep, especially if you do your reading in the evening.

Storage: There's a handy microSD slot. I sometimes use it to download books onto the device from my phone. Works great, and the little port cover has not come off and still sits flush with the edge of the device.

If only it worked....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this to take on holiday and it stopped working the day after I arrived - I got one day of reading by the pool before it packed in and the screen became completely unresponsive. I was very careful not to get any water or sun lotions on the screen, using a small clear zip bag with it but still it stopped working.
Halfway through my holiday, it started working again but only intermittently and not with all the functions it should have before it stopped working again a couple of days later. When I read up online, it seems alot of people have had the same problem with the Nook.
When it did work though, it was really good, the screen was brilliant and the functions great, it seemed to blur a little when turning pages that lasts longer than the Kindle for instance but it wasn't a huge problem hence the two stars.
I have to say though that on contacting Amazon about the problems, they were excellent offering me a refund immediately and a free return. I could have also gone through the warranty service with Nook had I wanted it to be repaired or replaced but I wasn't sure the Nook would be reliable enough if I were to get another so returned with Amazon and bought a different brand.

I love it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

If your looking for a e-book reader, this little device is all you need. Compared to reading things on a computer or tablet computer, this is much less tiring for your eyes. I red 5 hours per day on it for about 10 days and my eyes didn't feel tired att all (I made the text quite big).

It's light weight makes it really easy readable at any place, may it be the couch, bed or lying on a towel in the park. I'm used to read really fat books and that was always a problem.

Its perfectly readable on the sun and I'm taking it with me now to Greece. There is a mild reflection under a certain angle from direct sun light, but all you need to do is move it a bit. The price is well worth it and I think this is my buy of the year (although the year is not over :)

My only critique would be that Barnes&Nobles would give us google play, as it runs a custom android 2.2 version, so we could get some apps, mainly for pdf reading and buying books from other publishers and sellers (I live in Sweden, so I'd like to read some swedish books). I know all I need to do is get it on my computer and transfer it, but I would prefer a more direct way. Also, I don't want to root it, cause the videos I saw from people who rooted it and used different apps on it were blinking so heavily that I tought I'll get an epileptic attack...

Other than that the only thing I miss is the smell of the printed books :)

I'm very happy with my e-bok reader and I recommend it to anyone enjoying reading.

Easy to use. Easy to carry. Bring it anywhere. Loved the ability to adjust the text and font size. If only I knew other NOOK users so I could also use the "Lend Me" feature. But in the Republic of Ireland, there are relatively few NOOK users because Barneds & Noble will not sell to us without a UK address and credit card. So almost all of the NOOK users in Ireland are using their machines for borrowing from their local libraries. Please, Barnes & Noble, expand your sales business to include Republic of Ireland. Our Visa and Master cards are as good as anyone else's.

Clear, simple with a reasonable battery (as long as you disable Wi-Fi).
No too impressed with the difficulties encountered when the battery depletes completely so, BE WARNED, do not allow your Nook's battery to fully discharge. Ensure you turn it off completely.
My particular vendor hid the fact that my Nook came with a limited warranty so ask the question beforehand.

Fine for novels but cannot cope with non-fiction.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

It is fine for reading novels, where you probably scroll steadily through the text. With non-fiction books I have found two problems associated with reading behaviour. When study non-fiction material I need to move forwards and backwards through the book a lot. This means using bookmarks and this is just too clunky on the nook; you can set a bookmark with one touch but to access it again you need 4 or 5 touches on different screens. Also many non-fiction books are longer, 800 to 1200 print pages, and I find the Nook is simply too slow. The message, "Application Reader is not responding...", comes up again and again when I try to move to the contents page, to the index, back to the text.
