The Glowlight 3 lacks quite a few features of the Kindle. Access to Wikipedia, X-Ray, Word-Wise, the ability to sync, getting sideloaded books wirelessly via email and Send to Kindle and a few others I can't think of off the top of my head.
I don't use most of those features so that's not really a major complaint on my part. I do sync but I can do that manually as easily, having learned to do that when using Moon+ on my phone and reading on my Kindle. Send to Kindle is something I use occasionally and I'd miss that but it's not something I use a lot. The one I'll miss most is access to Wikipedia. It's really nice when I encounter something while reading that I want to know more about to look it up easily on Wikipedia.
And 3G is pretty nice to have at times although I don't really need it that often. I'll miss it occasionally although a lot of my use for it is to access Wikipedia when I'm away from home. In the past year, though, I've been reading more on my phone when not at home, so that's not really much of an issue for me.
So yeah, I think primitive kind of fits it. Kindle provides the richest feature set that I'm aware of for readers and the rest are all a bit primitive. This Nook may be just a little more so.
The important thing is reading and it's excellent for that.
