Following last year’s relaunch of the Nook brand, Barnes & Noble just announced a less-expensive version of its favorite backlit e-reader. The GlowLight 4e is — as the name suggests — a lighter version of the GlowLight 4 released in late 2021.
Like its direct predecessor, the GlowLight 4e sports a 6-inch E Ink touchscreen, though this iteration comes in at 212 DPI (where the GlowLight 4’s screen is 300 DPI). In almost every aesthetic regard, the 4 and the 4e are basically identical, though; put them side-by-side and you’ll be hard-pressed to choose which is the entry-level option. They share the same chunky bezels, soft material finish, and dual physical page-turn buttons.
