Kindle Paperwhite vs Nook GlowLight

Kindle Paperwhite remains the best choice for most readers thanks to its excellent price-performance ratio. It features a crisp 7-inch display with a 300 ppi resolution and adjustable warm backlighting, on which text appears sharp and perfectly rendered, almost like ink on paper. The fast processor ensures smooth page turns and more fluid navigation, even when reading large PDFs and illustrated novels. The battery life lasts up to 12 weeks. Its thin case with IPX8 water resistance and light weight make it convenient for travel and commuting. Kindle Paperwhite is available in both Wi-Fi and cellular versions.

Nook Glowlight is B&N's flagship model. It's a basic 6" reader with 300-dpi touchscreen with built-in glare- scratch- and fingerprint-resistant lens provides a paper-like reading experience. As the name says, it features GlowLight illumination, powerful enough to read in bed or in the bright light of the sun. You can manually adjust the warmth of the light or set it to mimic the natural progression of the sun automatically. The device has a comfortable design. Soft-touch finish makes it easy to grip and comfortable to hold. It’s can work for weeks on a single charge and syncs with NOOK Reading App for iPhone and Android, so you can pick up a book right where you left off. The digital discovery feature (B&N Readouts) serves up a daily selection of free book excerpts, magazine articles, curated blogs, and more.
