It doesn't come with a built-in light and has 800 by 600 pixel resolution, which makes it more comparable to the other available Kindles. The Nook site makes a point of saying that it is both ad-free and comes with a wall charger.Īnother possible choice is the Sony Reader PRS-T2, which has IR touch-screen interface and E Ink display.
Both reportedly have fairly even light distribution like the Kindle Paperwhite. The Nook is lit via LEDs at the top of the screen and the Kobo Glo via LEDs at the bottom of the screen. The Kobo matches the Paperwhite's resolution, whereas the Nook's resolution is that of older Kindles. Both feature IR touch-screens and E Ink displays. Competitors with built-in front-lighting include the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight e-reader, whose price was dropped to $119 when the Paperwhite came out, and the Kobo Glo, which is priced a little higher at around $150.
There are some notable well-reviewed alternatives to the Kindle, and likely more to come.
