Barnes & Noble gives a presentation just half a year after launching his e-book NOOK GlowLight 4 new NOOK GlowLight 4e readerswhich come as an even cheaper option for digital book lovers, with a compact device with great functionality and a monochrome panel.

We come across a design identical to the design of its predecessor tablet measuring 155.2 x 120 x 8.2 millimeters and weighing 170 grams, with symmetric panels across the screen. Specifically the same 6-inch e-ink display with front lighting of the original model, with a touch screen panel accompanied by some physical buttons on the sides of the frames to facilitate navigation and some basic actions, such as changing pages.

However, this screen will have a small resolution reduction, in this case limited to 212 dpi. On the other hand, while both models will have LED screen backlighting, the GlowLight 4e does without night mode, which allows you to adjust the color temperature and eliminate blue light. In addition, we will see a reduction in its integrated internal storage, with only 8 GB, of which only 5 GB will be available for e-books.

For the rest of the settings, NOOK GlowLight 4e will remain the same. Wi-Fi 4 connectionwith support for reading files from EPUB, PDF and Adobe DRM formatsand the presence of a single USB-C port for both battery charging and computer connection.

However, these sacrifices will allow reduce its price to a tremendously cheap $ 120 (approximately 112 euros per change), some offer, for example, coming under a single model without integrated advertising. This means that it is not entirely clear to us whether this saving really pays for only $ 30 compared to the basic model, which is practically the same in features and price with the Amazon Kindle.
