While browsing through bestselling titles at Barnes & Noble, I made the decision to purchase the new Nook Glowlight 3<\/strong>. I\u00a0have loyally used my Nook Simple Touch from Barnes & Noble since I bought it back in 2012. For the past 2 or 3 years, I have had my eyes on a replacement device but have been holding off until now for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although the big bookseller has had a rough couple of years with supporting their digital Nook department, which nearly closed altogether not long ago, I have refused to jump ship along the way. Amazon has achieved undeniable dominance in the market so I purposefully choose to support one of the last standing major brick & mortar bookstores that sells, what is in my opinion, a superior e-reader device anyway.<\/p>\n I know that is an unpopular opinion but I’m okay with that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When the first Nook Glowlight came out one year after I bought my first e-reader, I was frustrated. The backlit screen had so many practical uses I could benefit from. I read a lot on dimly lit airplanes and at night. Yet, it felt wasteful to buy another e-reader so soon after my first. I chose to wait on the first Glowlight. Before you knew it, Barnes and Noble abandoned their cute rubberized Nook-design completely and released the ugly Nook Glowlight Plus. It was waterproof, dustproof, and featured a revolutionary capacitive e-ink screen. Still, I found the exterior design too unattractive to upgrade.<\/p>\n
