If I wanted a Kobo, I would have bought one. This is just a wishlist for owners of Glowlight 3 (which I bought for $89). I appreciate mention that Kobo has these features for people who have not yet bought something.
I didn't select either poll option. Don't understand the first, and the 2nd is already taken care of by pressing the center of the page. It instantly shows you the pages left in the chapter. * additional font sizes on the large end (although thrilled with the recent addition of 2!) * Sort of both authors and titles to include Z-A * Sort to include recent purchases (and a reverse - old to new) * New and Recent in My Library scroll should not include 6 year old magazines. * Screensaver - I'd like to be able to change it.

On the differences side, the KA1 does offer a much wider assortment of fonts and font sizes along with the ability to finely customize font weight (including sideloaded fonts after patching) and easily adding more fonts. The KA1 will also display epub3 and epub3 fixed layout ebooks. The Gl 3 does offer physical page turn buttons but that seems to come at the price of a massive bezel -- is there any real need for the GL3 to be taller than the H202 which has a 6.8" screen?

I've seen the Kindle PW3 and the Kindle Voyage. I would not say either has a better screen than the H2O. So how can the nG3 screen be better than the KA1 screen? I don't get how.
Also, it's not GL3. GL is meaningless. It's n(for nook)G(for Glowlight)3(for version) aka nG3. |

Trying to keep this post on-topic. I have one huge need for the Nook platform, not really for me but for my parents. It's also the reason my spouse moved to Kindle:
- Full integration with Overdrive library books I want a way to be able to check out a book in Overdrive and just have it automatically show up on my Nook without having to tether to a computer. |

I wish the Nook had a bunch of software improvements. But I have no complaints about the hardware. |
