Received the GL4, have some Nook books on there that I've purchased, and did some reading.
The hold down the home "n" button is how it has been. I guess I was curious if the behavior was different based on the wording the GoodEReader article had.
I'm liking the buttons and placement! Not a lot of force needed. I'd say less force than what you need for GLPlus buttons. There is an audible click. I'd say the click is a little bit more of a hollower audible click sound than Oasis buttons. It's pretty much on par with how loud the GLPlus is, though maybe a smidge louder.
It is definitely snappier than the GLPlus. Tapping on books to see details at the store is faster. If you're a GLPlus owner, you'll know that when you tap a book to start reading it, you have to give it like 3-5 seconds, where the screen will do a full reset, it'll show the previous page real quick, reset, then go into the book with usually some loading buttons showing for a sec. For the GL4, I don't get this behavior. I'll tap a cover, then the loading buttons will show for just a sec before the book text shows.
It's still slower than competitor eReaders. It's not Oasis-fast in terms of tapping menu items or inputting text (like your WiFi password).
I'm slightly disappointed with the "soft touch finish"? It's very much a softer touch than, say a Voyage or a Boox Nova device. But it feels a little bit more "plastically" than what the GLPlus feels in hand. That being said, I still enjoy the feel more than other eReaders, but thought I'd mention it. Could also be there's more of a ledge with the GLPlus to hold on the bottom, which has more surface area to feel the soft touch finish.
Display text looks nice and crisp! I do believe I see a noticeable different in how crisp the text looks when reading.
