Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight Review

The third-generation Nook looks nearly identical to the graphite Nook Simple Touch, except for a light gray sliver rim around the edge. While the dimensions of the two are the same (6.5 x 5.0 x 0.47 inches), the third generation Simple Touch weighs 6.95 ounces, compared to 7.48 ounces on the previous version. While it may not seem like much, the half-ounce difference makes for more comfortable longer reading sessions, as does the soft-coated, rubbery contours of the backside.
The E Ink display, which is slightly inset, features an infrared-controlled touch screen that is generally responsive. The Nook Simple Touch comes with a built-in anti-glare screen protector. We expected it to feel gritty, but we couldn't discern any difference when compared to the E Ink screen on the Kindle Touch.
The Power button still sits on the back at the top, and a stylized N-shaped Menu button sits beneath the front display. Along the right side of the back is a microSD port cover that didn't sit as flush as we'd have liked. Flanking the screen are two rubbery page-turn buttons on each side that were easy to press. Helpfully, in the Settings menu, you can decide if the top or bottom buttons will turn the page forward or back. Whichever button acts as Page Forward will also, when held down, activate Fast Page, miming the act of flipping through the pages of a physical book.
