I might end up buying one, but the Poke3 I'm currently using still looks better. |

If it had orange light (especially the great GL3 orange light) and waterproofing, it would be a for sure purchase. Now it's just a 'most likely' purchase That's what I was thinking, but funny enough this: Quote:

Their software isn't missing much and what is missing mostly would be easy to add. But there's just so many little things, it's the death of a thousand cuts. |

So that's another plus. EDIT: You're right. It all adds up. I got it in my head that it was going to be waterproof (not something I really care about, but know you (and others) do. From my perspective, it's probably easier to replace the battery if it's NOT water proof. Last edited by rcentros; 12-01-2021 at 01:14 PM. |

Yes, it is Carta 1200. (So was the Glow2.)
Although it is always difficult getting a shred of info out of Eink. Here's the Rosetta stone: https://www.beck-elektronik.de/en/pr...ive-matrix-epd Last edited by Renate; 12-01-2021 at 01:18 PM. |

I'll probably pick one up. I'm a sucker for new ereaders (have way too many). I'm not usually a big recessed screen fan but I do really enjoy the velvety touch the Glowlight Plus has.
One sale isn't going to light their world on fire to continue making Nook investments, but it's at least doing my part to show I'm ready and willing and continue supporting them... |

I don't really see anything particularly compelling vs the GL3 ... let alone agains the other brands recent new releases.

I'm fairly sure that the Glow2 preceeds the release of the Carta 1200.

Ok, well there's Carta 1000, 1100, 1200 & 1250.
Good luck getting a spec of detail or release date on any of those. The 1200 seems to be from this year, the Kobo Sage & Clarissa being the first two known examples. Maybe, and I'm only saying maybe, they list previously available models that were made with Carta XXXX as Carta 1200 because they just throw the latest Carta film on anything that they are making at the time. That would explain why all the info out of Eink only says "Carta". Still, I'll be amazed if the new Glow (with capacitive touch) looks much different from the Glow2 (with capacitive touch). It seems that getting rid of a touch layer (like with the Glow3 IR model) is a bigger deal than Carta 1234. |

I don't think IR vs capacitive makes a huge difference. I've had an IR Kindle and the screen on that one was pretty average. OTOH, capacitive Voyage, Sage and Libra 2 all have excellent screens. |

The only font setting I change is the size so I can read in bed without my glasses. I've never worried about other font settings/types. That's just me though.
