GlowLight works as promised ; Lighter than its predecessor ; Expandable memory

Loss of contrast for onscreen text ; 40 premium for GlowLight functionality ; No 3G option

Though not everyone will able to justify the $40 premium, the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight is a worthy investment for anyone who's ever squabbled over lights-out time.
