I think the Glowlight 3's screen (overall) is the best I've seen. The Voyage has more clarity but the Kindle's font rendering, margins and lack of "warm" light makes the Glowlight 3 superior, in my opinion. I'm glad I found the one with the old firmware, though I feel it's "crippled."

I'm also okay with the font sizes they do have.

The (lack of) hyphenation isn't that big of a deal to me either. It's just weird that they would drop this feature. I could live with that — it's the font size that irritates me — it's always off (too big or too small). I constantly go back and forth (or I did when I was using the updated firmware Glowlights.

I actually tried to buy eBooks from B&N simply because I wanted them to stay in the eBook business. I basically put my Tolkien collection on the Nooks, which is why this was doubly irritating.
BTW, I got the usual "we'll pass this on" response from B&N support. I'm pretty sure that's the last I'll hear of it. I can still
hope I'm wrong though.
