I bought this for my mom for Christmas 2013, I luckily have a job and am in college so I did have a little extra money to give my parents something special this Christmas. I mom kept mentioning the Nook GlowLight and I ended up buying a used version from Unclaimed Baggage (Shout Out!) she loves it very much, my mom is 53 and got used to the touch screen very quickly, she has a 4 page library of Nook Books today.
