Barnes & Noble has revealed its newest Nook e-reader, a extra budget-friendly model of the Nook GlowLight 4 it introduced in December. The Nook Glowlight 4e prices $30 lower than the earlier mannequin however, as you would possibly count on, there are some tradeoffs.
The e-readers share an identical design, with soft-touch casing and bodily buttons for turning pages. However, at 212DPI, the GlowLight 4e has a lower-resolution show than the GlowLight 4, which has a six-inch, 300DPI display screen. There’s much less storage too, with 8GB as a substitute of 32GB. Rather than a month of promised battery life, Barnes & Noble says the GlowLight 4e will run “for weeks” on a single cost.
Other than these variations, the 2 fashions appear alike. They each assist USB-C charging and have a built-in anti-glare display screen protector with scratch resistance.
At $120, the Nook GlowLight 4e is $30 dearer than the bottom Kindle. However, for these searching for an e-reader that is not tied to Amazon, it is perhaps value testing.
Pre-orders for the Nook GlowLight 4e are actually open. It will ship on June seventh.
