The Glowlight 3 does have a very nice screen. I don't know how it compares to a Voyage, as I don't have one. But the 3 has a nicer looking screen than my (2015) Glowlight Plus or my Kobo Clara. I believe the 3 uses IR instead of capacitive touch, so there's one less layer on the screen.

This thread got me interested and since I have both devices at home right now, both running KOReader -- I thought a comparison would be nice.
Interested to hear what others think, but in person, I find the contrast difference even more noticeable than these photos. I tried to keep the settings identical other than sizing the letters to match as best I could on the Nook -- both on Bookerly. https://imgur.com/a/daGNOh4 |

One final shot -- here both frontlights are off and I bumped up the contrast setting in KOReader on the Nook to try to get it looking as good and similar as possible to the Voyage.
The nook looks quite good on its own, but the difference between them when comparing is pretty stark and easy to see in person. When I look at my own photos, the comparison seems much closer than when viewing it with my naked eyes here in front of me. |
