I had read a fairly positive review of the Nook Simple Touch with the glowlight feature in PC World and thought it might be a good choice for a second ereader (I already have a Kindle) because of the capability of reading in situations where the light is less than ideal (like a tent).  Unfortunately, the glowlight was about the only thing that worked as advertised.  Navigating by touching the screen was extraordinarily frustrating as the damn thing often simply refused to respond.  In addition, the text was not particularly crisp and seemed to vary in intensity (darkness) on the page.  It also appears that, when powered up, the device will only return to the home page and not to the page of the book being read when turned off (a feature I appreciate in the Kindle).  All in all, a big disappointment.  I'm just hoping that the retail store from whom I bought the reader will take it back.
