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.

Price depends on where you live. The Nook may be pretty cheap in the US, but it's difficult to get elsewhere and much pricier with the shipping cost added.
