I took my Kobo Aura and Kindle Paperwhite 2 into the B&N store. My daughter brought her Kobo Aura HD. I have the first generation Nook Glowlight and the lighting was very uneven and after reading for a while the text would get pixelated and be hard to read. I wanted to make sure the new Nook Glowlight was better in that regard. We compared them side by side.

The two Kobo Auras and the Paperwhite have an ivory cast that looks much more like paper than the Nook, which glows kind of bluish white in comparison, and to us, the text wasn't as sharp on the Nook as the other devices either. Without the SD card slot and only 500 gb of space for sideloads, I passed. I'll read my Nook books on my Nook HD or my iPad Mini.
