Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight 4 vs Onyx Boox Nova 3

Verdict

The Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight 4 is a lightweight e-reader with a 300 PPI display, blue and yellow light, and four buttons for lefties and righties. It has been praised for its hardware but criticized for its sub-par firmware/software. It is not waterproof and library books are harder to load on it than other e-readers. However, it is an affordable option that can be found on sale for as low as $96.

Verdict

The Onyx Boox Nova 3 is a great device for those who need to read manga, PDFs, and other documents. It is small enough to be portable and powerful enough to be used as a tablet. It has a long battery life and can last up to three days of heavy note taking or one week if only used for reading ebooks. The Koreader app makes it perfect for PDFs and the Neoreader app makes it great for manga. The colour readers have degraded B/W quality, so if you're looking for something with sharpness, this is the device for you.
