The Nook SImple Touch with GlowLight is essentially a backlit version of the Nook Simple Touch that was released in November 2011. It retains all the same internal and exterior specifications adding the aforementioned backlit E-ink display while somehow shaving 7% of the device's total weight. Description |
The second generation Nook from Barnes & Noble ditches the touchscreen LCD menu bar of the first model while adding touch sensitivity to the 6-inch E Ink display. This results in the e-reader having a substantially more compact footprint, and the 16 levels of grayscale offer fifty percent greater contrast than the original Nook. On Nov 7th, 2011 the Barnes & Noble relaunched the Simple Touch at a new price (down from $139.99) with software that improved both screen rendering and battery life. |
The Kindle Touch is centered around a six inch infrared multi-touch E-Ink display. Navigation is performed through what Amazon refers to as EasyReach, which divides each page into three distinct touch areas. The new X-Ray feature complements purchased content by gathering all historical references and topics of interest within a given book and providing detailed information from Wikipedia and Shelfari for each. Integrated Wi-Fi allows free access to AT&T hotspots within the United States. |
The Sony Reader WiFi PRS-T1 is an e-reader with a 6-inch E ink pearl touchscreen. Its battery lasts up to 14,000 continuous page turns, or 3-4 weeks with Wi-Fi on and 30 minutes of reading a day. It can display ePub, PDF, and TXT documents as well as various image and audio file formats. |
