There are some issues with the nook Glowlight that are not good.

1. The partitioned storage. just plain stupid. You should be able to use all of the storage for whatever books you want.
2. No collections
3. Lousy UI
4. The light layer is easy to scratch

I would get the new Glo HD. It has the same screen as the Kindle Voyage. it handles ePub, it has a very nice front light, the UI is good, the features are much better then any nook, and it's only $129.99. The nook Glowlight is $99.99. The Glo HD is much nicer to hold. The case for the Glo HD (from Kobo) is only $29.99. To be honest, I jut cannot see wasting (er speinding) money on a nook Glowlight that's got some major issues that make it not worth the money.
