[pct-l] Nook Simple Touch--feedback, anyone?

[Dennis Phelan]

I highly recommend the original amazon kindle.  It doesn't have a backlite
screen, which doesn't work well for night reading (I use my headlamp) but
it saves the kindle battery.  If you keep the wifi off the battery will
last for days.  It weighs 7.9 oz and can take a lot of punishment.
