Pros
High pixel density and I can see the difference from the first generation of the device
Drastically improved light bleeding from the top.
The brightness slider works better. It used to go from 0% brightness to 80% brightness if you moved the slider 1/4 of the way. Now, The slider is more representative of the illumination amount.
I put a bunch of .epub files on it and they were ready to be read immediately.
The dictionary search function is now better. Pressing and holding a word gives you the definition straight away. Before, you had to press and hold, and select the option to get the word definition which was a very unnecessary extra click.
Get it.
It just died a few months ago. It wasn't fancy, and didn't have the glow light feature, but I was lost without it.
I've been an avid reader my whole life, and was so delighted when the Nook was invented. With my worsening eyesight I can read in bed, without my glasses, by adjusting the font size. Also it is so much easier to hold than a book, due to my arthritis.
What can I say, other than I love it!
The only two kindle features I miss are being able to look up words in a foreign language and being able to organize things into Collections (the "my shelves" feature doesn't really work) so it loses a star for those. However, as both of these are software not hardware issues I'm sure someone will fix them sooner or later.
The second is a Nook reader. It is okay, but would not recommend it. Ordered the NookGlowLight and it is the only one I use. It is compact and easy to use. You can turn the page forward of back with either hand. It is also much lights than the others
Fits easily into my small purse.
