Have you ever seen, much less handled, the new GlowLight? It’s not all about the software, just as it’s not all about the price or size. That the software wouldn’t meet your needs doesn’t make the Nook a bad buy.

Yes, I have seen the latest nook. I didn't try it out all that much. But I am interested to know what's better about the firmware then the firmware for the nook STR.
As for the hardware, yes the Forma is $50 more then the nook GL3. But with the Forma you get a plastic backed screen meaning it's much more durable.
