This guide describes the replacement of the display for the Nook BNRV300 device. This device is also referred to as the “Nook Simple Touch” by Barnes & Nobles.
Removing the display is required for replacement of a broken, cracked, or damaged display.
If your screen is malfunctioning, check out this troubleshooting guide for screen malfunctions before you open up your device.
Warning: It is important to note that the display is a thin sheet of glass. When using tools to remove the screen, make sure to go slow and use caution. The screen can crack easily and break into small glass shards. Users may want to wear protection for hands and eyes.

Slide the back cover down towards the USB port to release it. The pictures show the case being pried open but this should not be necessary.
There is no need to pry the cover off. Just slide the back cover down toward the USB port.
This right here! It requires little to no force to do this. You are more likely to break the clips if you force it open.

Oh man, this is absolutely right! Sliding it down away from the power button is so easy. I'm sad I didn't see this comment until after I had pried it off. I couldn't figure out how to put it back on after changing the battery, but sliding it back up is easy. iFixit should definitely update the instructions to clarify this.
Looks like they updated the instructions! Although they said “prised” instead of pried. :(

Was all good till I got here:
Gently pry the display away from the plastic frame. Place the display on a hard, flat surface to support it when prying it off the metal backing. The screen may crack anyway.
The display was glued to the metal backing. Needs something to heat up the adhesive in order to remove it.
Hi. What display model should I look for? Is this one ED060SC7 good?
I'm looking in the Aliexp... store and I don't know what display to choose .
Check the comments on each step. There are some adjustments to the process to properly and safely take this apart.
Appreciate the feedback!
You should pull up from the bottom of the button. It will hing up and pop off easier and less chance of breaking the button. There is a hing on the top side of the button to pivot down to the bottom where the button is. The clips are near the bottom of the button. You are more likely to break the pivot pins doing it from the top.
