Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight: Specs, Feature and Review of An e-reader for night readers
Barnes & Noble Inc., the leading retailer of content, digital media and educational products, introduced the world’s first E Ink device NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight.
If you have got an e-ink reader like Amazon’s Kindle Touch, the answer is yes to the first two questions and no to the third. If you are using a tablet such as the iPad, your answers will usually be reversed.
The Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight is exactly like the original Nook Simple Touch. We are talking the same stubby body, TI processor, 2GB of storage, microSD slot and six-inch Pearl E Ink display with infrared touch.
Powered by a front-lit screen dubbed GlowLight, the new Nook emits a pleasant glow that’s sort of different from traditional back lighting. It’s easier on the eyes but the light cuts the battery life in half — which honestly is not that big of a deal.
The GlowLight technology does affect the battery life much better. The Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight should give you an estimated month of reading time, according to B&N’s numbers, compared to two months with the light off.
