The Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch price that earlier stood at $99 is now being offered at a discounted rate, just in time for the holiday season. Similar to this, the manufacturer had even slashed $20 from the eReader’s Glowlight variant in the month of October this year.
The maker of E Ink Reader says that the gadget possesses an ergonomic form with a soft-touch back which has been designed in order to make it comfortable to carry along. Also, users should be able to operate the device 25% faster as compared to any other eReader. Moreover, they can take pleasure in reading without distractions caused by ads.
As per B&N, the Nook Simple Touch, that weighs 7.48 ounces and measures 6.5” x 5” x 0.47” in dimensions, is lighter than a paperback. It houses a 6-inch, 600 x 800 pixel touchscreen display featuring E Ink Pearl technology which stands to be the reason behind its glare-free readability.
Readers should note that the slate is shipped in with an onboard storage capacity of 2GB which the company states is enough for not only hoarding up to 1000 books but also a host of magazines and newspapers. It also permits further expansion of up to 32GB through a microSD card.
The gadget supports files such as ePub and PDF, and offers Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n connectivity. Users can freely access the net at all company-owned stores along with innumerable AT&T hotspots.
According to the manufacturer, a rechargeable battery makes reading possible for approximately 2 months on a single charge. However, the battery life will survive this long only if the slab is employed for half an hour daily without employing Wi-Fi.
The price of the Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch has dropped to $79 just like it had during the Black Friday Megadeals. Besides various retailers and online shopping portals, holiday shoppers can purchase it from over 700 stores that are run by the company.
To sum it all up, following are the E Ink Reader’s key specifications:
