A more affordable version of the GlowLight 4 (by $30, it's only $10 more affordable when the GL4 has been on sale at $129.99 before).

What's different:

Only 8GB of storage (how much for sideloaded content...?)
No "Night mode" amber light
Lower pixel density (212dpi) vs 300dpi on the regular 4

I'm disappointed. I feel like the GL4 WAS more of an entry-level reader... but they went super entry-entry level.
