I traded my NST for a NST with Glow this past weekend. A store near me had one that someone had reserved but backed out of. I noticed the contrast difference right away, but I would call it negligible. Another customer didn't notice it until I pointed it out comparing the two NST models side by side. I think certain fonts make it less apparent as well.
I could be wrong, but the page turns seem noticibly faster than my NST. Maybe it's my imagination...
I was very pleased with the light. I started reading long ago on Palm PDAs until the first Nook came along, so I have missed having a backlit display. I like that the default mode is Off on the light, and disagree with the idea that most will read with it on. I think it is perfectly readable with no light. I like that it is adjustable. I read for the first time last night in essentially total darkness and had it barely above minimum illumination and it was great. I tend to get so engrossed in what I'm reading that minor things like the slightly brighter area across the top go unnoticed.
Aside from having to set up my darn shelves again, I'm pretty happy with mine...
