I also didn't like the fonts and other things with the screen. Just wasn't happy with it. Last edited by rhyta; 12-04-2021 at 04:41 AM. |

You can turn the color off. The amber light slider and the ordinary light slider are separate. You didn't look at the settings of your GL3?

I would like the ability to have my own fonts, but I've gotten used to Georgia (with the thicker setting) on the GlowLight 3. |

At some point I got used to Caecilia and have used it ever since on everything without a further thought. But then, I don't use the stock reader.

I've never gotten used to any of the default fonts on any of my ereaders. Except in the very beginning, when I didn't know any better.
These days it's Lexia DaMa for me. I could get by with CharisSIL Modified Larger, DejaVuEink or Zilla Slab as well. But Bookerly, Caecilia, Baskerville, Georgia et al. just don't do it for me. |

I didn't like Georgia on the Kobo/kepubs. But since they've improved kepub font handling, Georgia looks pretty good there too. |

If you're looking to move from the Simple Touch, want to stick with Nook and want an upgrade (and don't mind losing the buttons) you might like the 2015 6" Glowlight Plus. You can pick one up cheap on eBay. It uses the same screen as the 3, it is waterproof and has a metal body. And it doesn't have the orange light. I really like mine. Quote:

It seems to me that the trend these days is to have the capability for an extremely "warm" (i.e. reddish) light. My Poke3 needs to run the warm light at 1/4 of the level of the cool light to give somewhere around neutral light.

There are two models called Glowlight Plus. The current model is a 7.8" thing that has the amber light. Looks like this:
Then there's the one I linked to. The 2015 Glowlight Plus (internally called Glow 2). It has a 6" screen and no warmlight. Looks like this: (The hand holding it is optional. Does not come with purchase) |
