Well, finally... at least a Nook Glowlight Plus picture and name listing. Clicking on the image doesn't take you to its details... yet (probably soon).

And then the selling feature is its size and they shrink it down so it looks smaller than the 3? But that looks like it's consistent. That's how they display their tablets as well.

The product page is working now. But still no information about its weight.

It does feel quite heavy, although the soft coating helps a lot to make it more comfortable to hold. I tend to prop it on a pillow (iBeani actually). Now my Forma feels as though it's filled with helium and might just float away.

The comparison charts are a work in progress. If you click on "Compare to Kindle" you get a picture of a white something with, among other things --

6'' High-Resolution Display (300 ppi). Most advanced GlowLight yet. Waterproof1, dustproof, Wi-Fi and built-in Anti-Glare.

You're right. I'd forgotten that one is waterproof too. I think I might have a few more ereaders than I actually need.

Obviously, re-using an old name cannot POSSIBLY lead to confusion.

I got to see the GL4 at a B&N.
They showed me a 4 page comparison printout that said "for internal use" on each page.

Well, I am going to return it. I tried out the Bluetooth on this for the B&N podcasts with my Sony Noise canceling headphones, couldn't raise the volume from being able to hear it. This is a dealer breaker for me, even my Amazon basic Kindle works fantastic with my headphones. I liked the reader screen, but the other dislike was the menu, and sub systems, can't enlarge the text for these settings.

Amazon doesn't conflate the two devices on its own web page, I'll wager.
