I’m still steaming through a book a month on the little monster. Battery lasts forever, the screen reads great…
The ReLaunch rom for it is quite nice to work with, I can access my server with books using Total Commander and SSH, AlReader is quite adjustable (if not updated for Android 2.1 since forever, of course)… I even downloaded a couple of custom eReader fonts for it, Using Bookerly, now.
I just wish some apps were still updated for it. But then that’s the bleeding-edge software lover in me talking, it actually works fine and doesn’t need any updates.

I have a Nook First Edition and still use it occasionally.
I think that’s still a more modern device than the Simple Touch! Looks nice!
Had to retire my simple touch since the back rubber started to melt and get sticky. Replaced it with a current gen glow light I think is what they’re called now.
This is still such a solid device in 2023. Just finally gave up on mine that I bought clearance from a RadioShack in 2013 after a friend sat on it.
Even then the only problem was the backlight caught the screen imperfection in an irritating way.
Went with a Kobo Libra 2 to replace it, great little upgrade after ten years, but I could have seen myself doing another ten on the Nook
