Can anyone compare the Nook Glowlight to the Nook Color for me? I know it is not a tablet, so ignore that part, just compare the ereader part

A major advantage of the Nook Glowlight is the ability to read outside both in both direct or indirect sunlight without the screen "fading" or screen glare as well as being able to read anywhere indoors or at night with the Glowlight function. The battery life of the Glowlight is significantly longer and the device is much lighter and easier to hold and carry especially while traveling. There is the disadvantage though of books only being available in black and while, which could be an issue for books for children or books with photos or pictures in them. The Main advantage of the Nook Color is the color feature, especially for magazines, etc. and the text is a bit crisper and the lighting better. It also has a night time setting (dark screen/white lettering) for reading at night which doesn't light up a room as much for the benefit of other occupants. Being a tablet gives internet capability, but this does mean a shorter battery life. It is also difficult, if not impossible to read it outdoors. Both products are excellent. Since I have an iPad and can access my Nook library in color, I have opted for the Glowlight so I can read outdoors on my patio. Best of both worlds.

As I remember, the Simple Touch Glowlight has a gray bezel and no front light (you have to read near a lamp at night), and the Nook Glowlight has a white bezel and has a front light. If you press the Nook button on the bottom for two seconds, the glowlight will turn on. You can adjust the strength of the light.

I believe so as I think the Nooks with and without glowlight have the same dimensions. Suggest you go to B&N; website & check the measurements of the two Nooks. They are probably identical. Hope this helps.

Nook HD is definitely better than the nook color, the processing speed and download speeds are more responsive and images of course are better due to the nature of a HD screen. If you want to upgrade there's always the nook HD+ which i fond is far better and it has SD memory slots for additional storage capacity.

I have a Nook Color & it didn't work for that model. The charger fits in the port but it doesn't actually charge the device. Very frustrating.

There's a summary article on Ars Technica about this very subject. It may help.http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/reviews/2011/11/kindle-fire-vs-nook-tablet-which-one-should-you-buy.ars

Yes, Perfectly. I have a simple touch nook without the glowlight as well and this case fits and functions great. Hope this helps.

I got rid of my Nook. Get a Kindle, you will be a lot happier. Nooks are junk.

Dear Xavi,Thank you for your reply. Since my last message I have purchased the Kindle 3 as I was concerned about the difficulty of buying and downloading books within the UK. I am so far very happy with the Kindle although I am very interested in what you think of the Nook. I have relatives in the US who are considering buying an e-reader and so I would love to know what your opinion is. If you get the chance to give me some feedback once you've used it that would be great!Thank you.Sincerely,Michelle

I have the Simple Touch and it fits perfectly. I have no experience with the Nook Glowlight referred to in the question.

Hey guys, I know this thread concerns the screen, but I have a quick question. Has anyone tried loading the Kindle software on this thing & read a book? Are the books in color? The only reason I'm asking is because that's the only reason I would buy this.

Yes. I actually use the Nook app in the tablet to read my e-books (even though I don't own any B&N; books), reads my EPUB books perfectly and I like its internal (i.e. not online) dictionary. I think it has the Kindle app pre-installed but I haven't used it.

I just want to be sure, this keyboard is compatible with the nook color tablet? This is because I have been looking at the others and majority of them say they are not compatible with the nook at all.

I do not think it would . I went to Barnes and Noble the other day and saw the new glow light reader . Its lighter and thinner . It doesn't have buttons like the older one .You may have to wait for the cover makers to catch up or get one at Barnes and Noble which I know will cost more .

Yes,. I take my nook out to read and also to watch netflix. You can change brightness settings to your liking.

My nook is BNRV200, color. I would be guessing if I said yes. But if you want to look the dimensions up for both it would give you your answer.
