Nook GlowLight 4e

The Nook GlowLight 4e is Barnes & Noble's refreshed entry-level e-reader, offering a simple, competent experience for loyal B&N customers. It features a 6-inch, 300 PPI E Ink screen with ComfortLight (adjustable warm light), a unique soft-touch finish, and a single physical page-turn button on the left side for one-handed reading. It integrates seamlessly with Barnes & Noble's bookstore and allows for library borrowing via OverDrive, though the process can be less intuitive than on Kobo. With 16GB of storage and USB-C charging, it covers the basics well.

Its appeal is largely regional and nostalgic, serving the US market of readers who have a long-standing relationship with Barnes & Noble and prefer to support that ecosystem. It's a solid, no-frills device with a distinctive design.
