I like the Nook's page turn buttons and their location -- and their screens have been top notch. I can't speak for the GL4, I haven't seen it yet. But both GL+ Nooks and the GL3 all have very good screens.

Nah. I was seriously bummed about my Boox device (got the 10"). Meh. It's fine for the times when I need to write on a PDF--rare--but other than that, it never gets used.
To be fair: Part of it is handsize compatibility, of course, which isn't the device's fault. Myhands are long-fingered but the 10" devices, whether it's the Kindle 10 or the Boox, etc. just don't seem to fit the hand, not for me. And I'm not some petite five-footer, either; I'm reasonably tall for my era (5'8"+), and my hands are proportionate. (shrug).
But
innovation? No. Last device in the eInk world that I loved was my Voyage, which has gone to that great electronic graveyard in the sky. I did not care at all for the Oasis and quickly replaced it with this newest, latest and greatest Uber-Paperwhite thing, which I do like.
