The Nook Simple Touch Reader is one of the first eReaders to be offered with a touch-screen. And without the navigation screen, or a keyboard like early Kindles, the Nook Simple Touch Reader is one of the lightest, most portable units available. In addition to the touch-screen, Barnes & Noble made several changes in the Nook platform. The Nook Simple Touch has a much longer battery life than the Nook 1st Edition, able to continue on a single charge for up to two months. The Simple Touch is available only in a Wi-Fi model, not 3G, but access is free in thousands of locations, including Starbucks stores and Barnes & Noble retail locations.
