** Nook HD has LCD screen which is just like your TV/ monitor screen. It has its own light. Same is the case with Kindle Fire HD. They both have color screens while Nook SImple Touch has an eInk screen which is pretty different.
** You dont have to pay anything for Wifi. Just need an internet connection at home attached to a Wifi router to access it at home. Otherwise go to a coffee shop or some place with free Wifi…. There is not monthly pay for either.
If you want all that to work then nook simple touch is way out of the question as it is strictly for reading purpose.
