It is lighter than any ereader I own or know of and the coating is a nice soft touch that makes it good for marathon reading sessions. There are other ereaders that read epub that I like as well but the Nook has a very nice price point and doesn't force ads on you for that 119.00 price tag. If you live near a B&N I highly recommend going in and checking it out in person.

Thank you kikar & The-eBook-Reader for your information. I'm heading to Barnes & Noble soon to check it out. By the way, kikar, since you have the reader, can you confirm a few minor points for me please? Is the new Nook Glowlight still have the following features of the ST:
- Sideloaded books are arranged in folder/subfolder structure (I really want to keep my books in the folder/subfolder structure on the reader)
- There's some sort of English dictionary (I'm not a native English speaker)
- EPUB with unicode foreign fonts can be read if you have a line in the EPUB CSS that refer to their internal unicode font - droidsansfallback.ttf or sth similar)
Thank you
