I am new to ereaders. The Nook Glowlight 3 is my first. I have used a reader app. on my phone and found the ability to change (soften) the background color to be very desireable. I was considering the Kindle Paperwhite or the Kobo H2O, when the GL3 was announced. I went with the GL3 because I really wanted the color changing screen... and my wife already has an investment in Nook's.

I am quite happy with the GL3. The screen is very clear and easy to read. I absolutely love the color changing screen. My wife lays next to me at night, reading her GL+, and I can hardly stand to look over at that blue-white screen. The finish on the case of the GL3 makes it easy to hold. Frankly, I am not finding the page-turn buttons to be particularly useful or desireable. I can't seem to find a way to hold it with one hand, that also allows me to easily change the page using the buttons. If I have to use 2 hands anyway, I find that just touching the screen is much easier.
