Basic, Solid E-ink reader.
3 of 3 found this helpful This is an older model B&N nook, with good (not adjustable) contrast and low glare. I purchased because my Mother broke her GlowLight version, I gave her my GlowLight version (since I rarely used the light), and I purchased this as my replacement. Battery life, for some reason, seems a little shorter than the GlowLight version (maybe different size battery); but only going from 100% to 68% in a week of use, the battery life is more than sufficient. Easy to understand interface, and plenty of online tutorials to assist. Setting up for borrowing from public library (via Adobe Digital Editions) might be a bit fussy the first time; it is easy to use after setup and first sync. I stare at LCD at work for 9+ hours per day, so I find E-ink easier on the eyes when reading for that extra 45-90 minutes in the evening. Remember that E-ink experience is pretty much for black-and-white, low-refresh-rate activities, and cannot provide a "tablet" experience. But as an E-reader only, I love this series and the GlowLight series of e-ink readers.
