I live/work at a hot springs based retreat center. I'm super glad to have the protection for the baths AND i would love to have a color screen. As it is the screen lags slightly between pages and significantly when between books or home screen options. Easy on the eyes. Lightweight. The rear of the case wraps around to the screen side and has surprisingly sharp edges; i bought a cover to compensate. Assuming i get it wet and it survives: it's worth it. otherwise maybe something slightly higher end.

I love books and glowlight plus is the best option. However, glowlight cant download outside US which is kind of unfair. I live in NZ and this is the limitation which is a let down. Took me ages searching online how to do it. Whats worst is the false hope that the customer service agent from barnes and nobles telling me he verified my account now I can purchase books even after saying I live in NZ. Anyway, I still can download free books which is good or else good product will be gone to waste.

I purchased a used one of these units. It works fair but it's not anything spectacular!. Glow light and WIFI work fine and had no issues downloading my formerly purchased e books. Great battery life! You will have to be more careful with the screen and metal back or you will have more chips and scratches before too long. The power button can be somewhat harder to push when turning on and may require more than one attempt. I wish the bottom nook bottom button worked like the former glow light and glow light 3. If you want to download Overdrive library e books it is not as simple as other nook e reader units as it is a bit more of a work around plus it works a little different and takes a bit more time. Once you get used to it is not that difficult. Be Warned that not all Over drive e books will open on this unit which makes it a real Hassle. It is super easy to delete the library e books once yore done so that's a bonus. Not my favorite because I spend more time fighting with it to work correctly so do not plan on purchasing another glow light plus as I prefer the ease of the non water proof units. For some people this may fit your needs better than it did mine. My Overall Opinion Is - Not Recommended!Read full review

Upgraded to this from my old Nook without the glowlight because I often read in a parked car at night and don't want to sit there with the dome light on. Honestly the only improvement that matters to me is the glowlight, so if you always have a lamp available when you are reading at night, I recommend you save a couple bucks and get the regular Nook. Gave it four stars because they took away the ability to turn off some touch screen functions and turn pages with physical buttons. You always have to handle it carefully because an accidental touch of the screen turns the page. The old Nook could disable that problem. I also miss my old custom screensavers. This model doesn't allow that. This one is better looking than my old one, but it's just for reading books, so that doesn't make up for the loss of physical buttons.Read full review

I purchased this to replace my aging nook simple touch. I like it, glo light works well, and the screen is very sharp and clear. The one major problem is the sensitivity of the Nook button just below the screen. This is essentially the menu button. It is way to sensitive and very often I find myself back on my library screen after even a very slight amount of pressure on or near the button. Can only call it annoying! If not for this I would love this reader, still good but I may not feel the same in a few months of reading after being subjected to the flaw over and over.
