there was a massive delay on these items but I finally got my order for two fulfilled as they both came today, they are the nook 2 simple touch 6 inch readers

they are 2 gig but only have 0.25 gig available to the end user/owner so I have placed two old 2 gig micro sd cards in them (one in each) and copied the epubs over to the sd cards to leave the internal memory free , as 2 gig is ample space for books

you have to register with barnes and noble but I already have a nook hd+ registered so I used the same existing login for these ereaders

after you have logged in your home wifi and the b+n login they are good to go, and work fine using epubs

well worth the money at £29 each with free delivery, despite the long wait !!

I doubt they will be this price at the moment though, but if anyone still has them on back order they should turn up soon

otherwise they are £41.38 on the usual @uction site
