Nice e-book reader you’ve got there, Barnes & Noble. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it. And something just did.
Since its debut in April, Barnes & Noble Inc.’s Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight has been my favorite pure e-reader, thanks to a feature that illuminated the screen, so you could read in a darkened room. But the leading maker of e-readers, Amazon.com, was working on a similar device. The result, the new Kindle Paperwhite, is now number one. With a starting price of $119, it’s thinner and simpler than the Nook, with a superior lighting system.

I have the Nook Simple Touch Glow Light, and find it hard to read in places where the lighting is fair, as in a waiting room of an automotive shop. It also doesn't sync to good when switching devices, say between the Nook andmy iPhone. I did order the Kindle Paperwhite, due today. As soon as I finish off the books I haven't read on my Nook, which will take a year, it will be retired.
