I don't really get the point here. Just hopefully faster internals? (which would be good - always)
I don't think there is a major change (except maybe 32 GBs instead of 8 GBs, which some would consider a major change). But there's several incremental changes. Faster CPU. Double the RAM (from 512 MB to 1 GB) Smaller bezels. USB-C port. Capacitive touch screen instead of infrared. Some kind of built-in screen protector. And maybe (probably not) newer firmware. Hopefully the screen is as good as the GL3's.

For me, the main thing is that B&N will continue selling a 6" reader (at least for a while longer).
