Yeah, I just don't get it. They were early to the waterproofing scene with the original Glowlight Plus and just haven't gone back (well, the big Glowlight Plus is also waterproof, but I'm not interested in it).

If it had orange light (especially the great GL3 orange light) and waterproofing, it would be a for sure purchase. Now it's just a 'most likely' purchase

That's what I was thinking, but funny enough this:

with more memory, a faster CPU, capacitive touch, USB-C and is lighter with smaller bezels.
Made me think 'Oh yeah, there are a significant number of improvements.'

Looks like they added the extra memory to push the price point up $20 or $30 — If I remember right, the GL3 was introduced at $129 but dropped to $119 fairly quickly (or am I thinking of another Nook?).
No, you're right. I'd expect the 4 to settle at $120-130.

I do still want to see one though. Also looking forward to reviews on it.
Yeah, for sure.
