The fonts are smoother which is important to me. However they are thinner, and the STR without Glowlight definitely has a bolder look. The STR with Glowlight has grayer text and so the difference is not as apparent. Kindle and Sony newer and older models have similar comparisons in this regards, and I know some people prefer the older, bolder look. Hope that helps!

Asawi, here are some photos to go with my previous comments. The old Nook in the photos is the Simple Touch with no Glowlight. I took them at two different font sizes, one smaller and one larger, since I don't know what you prefer. I have the same book on the screen viewed with the same font, line spacing and margins. I had an interesting observation when comparing them side by side. You can see that the new Glowlight has more space between lines and also more space at top and bottom. Therefore, the paragraph at the bottom of the page on the old Nook starts at the top of the page on the new Nook.
