Looks can be deceiving. A couple of weeks ago I hit up B&N to check out the Glowlight 3 in person and bought my Nook ST along for comparison. Despite the large bezels, the Glowlight 3 was lighter than my old Nook and felt good in the hands. The page turn buttons are improved too. The infrared screen is sharper than the Paperwhite's capacitive display.

The software though is what killed it for me. Page turns and responsiveness felt slower than even my old Nook. This was especially apparent when compared to how snappy the Oasis 2 is.
