Amazon Kindle PaperWhite VS. Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight

By

Welcome back to another beloved installment of the Good e-Reader Video Comparison Series! Today we are looking at the e-Reader that started the entire glowing e-ink revolution, the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight. Juxtaposing this is the latest Amazon Kindle PaperWhite, which expands on the technology.

In this video we document the hardware and software elements that make both of these devices unique. The Kindle Paperwhite has a faster processor and more RAM then their counterparts. It also really refines the glowlight feature and makes light emit from the bottom of it, where the Nook does it from the top. Many people wonder how reading in complete darkness performs. My friends, we GIVE this to you in spades! We compare EPUB and PDF documents and show you all the features to augment your reading experience. Finally, we outline our thoughts and opinions on the Paperwhite and Nook Glow.

    Nice display, glad I have the PW on order. I also prefer the Kindle store with all the info you guys didn’t like. I want to know how many pages, what other books are in the series if a series, which I like to read.   Also you talked about the storage, that the Nook has a card to put in to hold more. The PW does not but you get 5 GB of Cloud on Amazon that stores  your books forever off your Kindle, which I really like.

    wow, thank you for that, what a great watch, my boyfriend has just brought me the nook glo light for xmas, then he told me about the kindle paperwhite, im very tempted to take the nook back, BUT, i think i still like the nook, i like to have a home button and i also like that you can change the page with the side buttons on the nook.. the reason i went for the nook was for the light, this will be my first e read so i think i will be pretty impressed with either 1. thank you so much for the vidoe, very helpful xx

    Hi..
    A very informative and succinct comparison of the Nook & Kindle….I have used a kindle before but had to trash it coz the screen got spoilt, another issue was the space…if you have lots of old PDF`s, as well as an ever increasing library of ebooks then you would want the storage space. After having used the Kindle, and getting irritated with its propriety formats, i may make a change for the Nook, i only wish that it was a bright as the Kindle !
