I got an ancient nook "simple touch" for free on a neighborhood Facebook group yesterday. Figured I could see if I at least like the form factor before getting myself a newer one.
When I got it, the battery was completely dead. I plugged it in to charge (thankfully a micro-USB charger). After about 20 minutes, it was ready to work on.

If you want to test this against an actual instance, you can do so via AWS:
From the console, select and launch a RHEL 8.2 AMI released by RHEL; RHEL's amazon ID is 309956199498.
A valid ami choice in region us-west-2 is ami-02f147dfb8be58a10
To run this example, clone all files into their own directory, change directories into that directory, and run:
packer build -var-file="variables.pkrvars.hcl" .
If you modify the source_ami variable to be an empty string "", then the filter chosen will be different.

To run this demo:
Install Packer. (see our installation guide for details, if you need them).
Add valid AWS credentials to your environment: export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<YOUR KEY HERE> and export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<YOUR KEY HERE>.
Once you've exported those credentials, save the above file and run:
| packer build -parallel-builds=2 test_parallelism.json | |
