My sister and my son both use the Nook, and like it.
I, over the last 14 years, personally have owned a Fire (trash), and 4 Kindles. I broke two kindles by a. sitting on it. b. dropping it on a rock. The third lasted about 6 yrs til it's battery went totally dead, and I'm on my third year with the Paperwhite 11th edition and kindle unlimited.
