The review on The Verge said something similar about the contrast and crispness of the text - but the review didn't include a comparison with, say, the Sony 600, so it's hard to know to what degree the text isn't crisp.
I didn't really get the impression that either of the reviewers were particularly familiar with e-book readers in general, though.

The GlowLight Nook has a screen protector on top of the display, though, which makes text appear slightly softer and lower-contrast than on last year's model. I didn't notice until I held the GlowLight Nook next to last year's Nook and a Kindle, and even though all three use the same display technology the GlowLight Nook's text didn't look quite as sharp. It's a fine screen, but it's nothing remarkable anymore, and I'm starting to wish for a slightly higher-res display that renders text a little more sharply.
