At first glance , the fresh Nook GlowLight looks like a totally dissimilar gadget than its forebear , complete with a new , bulgier , roundish pattern , cushioned outer edges , and a undimmed white color that most reminiscent of a other issue Kindle . It ’s unquestionably an eye - catcher , if just a little routine Fisher - cost .
But underneath that surface , the new Nook GlowLight vaunt a lot of smallish , but still telling advancement , muchlike the Kindle Paperwhite 2013 . The new 6.2 Panthera uncia GlowLight is a bit light than both the 7.3 ounce Paperwhite and its own 7 ounce predecessor . It also flashes black to reset its sieve less . Way less . In fact , the new GlowLight does n’t have to flash black at all in reading mode . The more film - heavy UI ( which has a new , streamlined look on the new Nook ) is a different story , but no grim flashes in the middle of a thriller is prehend .

The newfangled Nook GlowLight also has a higher - result screen than last year ’s mannikin , bringing it up to par with the OG Paperwhite , if not up to ( admittedly absurd)Kobo Aura HD levels . And its on - board computer memory of 4 GB doubles that of Amazon ’s offering , although both can hold far more books than you could reasonably look to read in either ’s lifetime . Of course , all this is on top of a front light that — in the unretentive time we got to spend with one — seemed to put out a brighter , more even glow than the Paperwhite does .
