Barnes & Noble's new $130 e-reader is water resistant, has a sharp display and an aluminum back
Since the display is the number one attraction on any e-reader, it should be noted that the new Barns & Noble Nook GlowLight Plus features an e-ink display with a density of 300 dots per inch, an enhanced contrast, and better brightness dispersal. Barns & Noble claims that the display matches that of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, which is the main competitor of the Nook GlowLight Plus. Speaking of similarities, the new e-reader from Barnes & Noble also integrates a capacitive touchscreen, an upgrade over the infrared touch technology used by the entry-level Amazon Kindles and the older Nook GlowLight.
To get you going as soon as the GlowLight Plus arrives, as Barnes & Noble offers three free e-book from a collection of 20 titles. Furthermore, if you buy the Nook GlowLight Plus by the end of the year, the book retailer will also throw in $5 in credit that you can spend in the company's online bookstore.
What do you guys make of the new Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight Plus? Is $130 a good price for an e-reader with a sharp display and an aluminum back that can be used to read books in the comfort of your own hot tub?
