You'd be best to get a Kobo Aura or a Kobo Aura HD. I know the Kobos are more expensive, but they are just better overall and the support here on MR is very good. Just head over to the Kobo forum and you'll see how good it is. |

I know you didn't ask me the question, but I would. (But I have trouble with frontlit eReaders that others don't, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.) The Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight has an extra layer of -- something -- that diffuses the light and dulls the screen for natural light reading. And the fonts (at least some of them) are actually a bit wider than they are on the Nook Simple Touch, which makes the NST w/Glowlight a bit "blockier" than the NST. I like my NST -- at night I use an M-Edge E-Luminator, which works fine for lighting.

I have a Sony PRS-650 and the same exact fonts on the nook look thinner and sometimes like a different font. The font handling on the nook is not all that good. I'm not happy with the font handling on the nook.

My Sony T2's fonts are much lighter than the Nooks. I don't know if they have the "exact same fonts" however, even though they have the same name. And I think font handling is very good on the Nook. That, and the way the Nook is designed, are the two main reasons I like it better. I guess that's why choice is good, no one product pleases everyone.
