I own a Nook Glow (and have read a ton on it) and you've seen my pictures of my PW.
My Nook Glow isn't even on the same planet.. the PW is so much better in any light it's not even funny.
I haven't decided what I'm doing with my Nook. It is so much worse I don't want to keep it as a 2nd eReader, and I feel like I'd be doing a family member a disservice if I gave it to them, it's that inferior to the PW IMO.
Maybe I need to photograph the Nook in the same conditions I photographed the PW.
It all comes down to the contrast IMO.. with the lights off the PW has much better contrast than the Nook, and as you turn the lights up the Nook contrast gets worse and the PW gets better. There is something about B&Ns lighting that cause it to wash out the black on the eInk, while the PW seemingly has a wavelength of light that doesn't reflect off the black text so it just makes the white whiter.
The Nook is also much bluer (higher color temp) but that is really not annoying in a totally dark room IMO. It just makes the light much more jarring if you try and use it in a dimly lit room.
I still haven't gotten past the point where I can actually read on my PW without going "OMG this screen is amazing". Note I did get one from a "later batch" as I had to wait forever for mine.
