I had a very early version of the Barnes & Noble Nook reader that still works fine, but I passed it along to my grandson because I was using a tablet as an e-reader. The tablet is backlit, the Nook was not. My aging eyes now demand a backlit background.
Well, after six years of heavy use and faithful service my Toshiba tablet is dying - the plug-in port is wonky and the battery won't take or hold a charge. Unfortunately, Toshiba no longer makes consumer electronics of this type and I can't get a replacement battery.
Looks like it's time for a new one. I'm leaning toward a 10" Nook rather than a Kindle, mostly because I don't want Amazon any deeper in my bizness than it already is. Virtually everything I read electronically has been checked out of my public library and in a non-Kindle version, so I've cut Amazon out of that loop.
Can anyone offer advice or reviews on the newer B & N Nooks?
