My NOOK Simple Touch Glowlight just smacked onto the floor and is now a rather stylish brick. There seems no hope for repair, and it isn't covered by warrant, and it's not available currently in Switzerland. Does anyone know where I can get one in central london, since i'll be heading that way in a few weeks...?

When I saw the thread title I thought this was going to be another terribly sad tale from AtW!!

Seriously, I bought the Kindle Paperwhite after trying every damn ebook reader out there. Couldn't be more happy. You have the standard Web 7 day return policy if you don't like it, so no risk. Tons and tons of reviews and videos on YouTube. Early models (pre Xmas) had some minor screen issues, but all seems to have been resolved now. UK model (£109) also doesn't have the "push adverts" that the cheaper model has to put up with in the US (and you can easily hide the "new book recommendations" that appear on the home screen - there is a setting for this now in the system menus.)
Wouldn't part with mine, and I never thought I'd feel that way about any ebook reader.
EDIT: I don't use the Amazon store and I don't use the software that comes with the Kindle (so I'm probably Amazon's nightmare type of customer. I use the excellent freeware Calibre program (to convert EPUBs to MOBI or AZW3), or simple "drag-n-drop" from within Windows 7 to get my books across.Last edited by nomadd; 24 April 2013, 11:54.nomadd liked this postComment

Ordered one. I'll pick it up on my way home. And a leather wallet for it at the same time.
I already use Calibre - with the plug-in to strip out DRM.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
