Barnes & Noble NOOK GlowLight 3 vs Kobo Clara HD

Verdict

The Barnes & Noble NOOK GlowLight 3 is a great eBook reader with many features that make it stand out from the competition. It has physical page turn buttons and a night mode to reduce blue/white light shining in your face before bed. The soft touch plastic is reminiscent of the original simple touch, and it whizzes through books quickly when you press and hold the page turn buttons. However, some users may find the glossy finish and small corner design uncomfortable.

Verdict

The Kobo Clara HD is a great starter device for those interested in e-readers. It has an 8GB internal memory that can be upgraded with a larger microSD card, and it can hold up to 6k books. The 6" screen size makes it easy to transport in a pocket or small bag. It also has the Overdrive feature which allows users to borrow books from their local public library. However, some users have noted that there is not enough control over line spacing and that it takes two presses to do everything.
