Barnes & Noble NOOK GlowLight 3 vs Kobo Libra 2

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 Libra 2 is an excellent e-reader for those looking for a device with a crisp 300ppi screen, 32GB of storage, waterproof capabilities, dark mode, comfort light, USB-C port and hackability. It also has Overdrive integration allowing users to borrow library books with ease and Adobe Digital Editions compatibility. However, some customers have noted that the hard plastic cover feels cheap and there is not enough control over line spacing or margins.
