Basic 6-inch Kindle e-reader uses an electronic ink screen that looks and reads like real paper. The matte screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, so you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room. Unlike tablet screens, Kindle has no glare.

Kobo Glo's revolutionary ComfortLight illuminates the screen with a soft, adjustable glow so you can read any eBook any time of day under the perfect light — no lamp required. Because Kobo Glo’s advanced high-res XGA Pearl E Ink screen doesn’t use a glass overlay for its front light technology, there’s never any glare, even in the brightest sunlight.

2012. Amazon unveils Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle 5
The e-reader competition continues unabated these days. Today, Amazon has introduced two new e-ink e-readers—the budget-friendly Kindle 5 and the "frontlit" Kindle Paperwhite. Naturally, the latter is set to rival the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight and the Kobo Glo. All these e-readers enable reading in the dark, but the Paperwhite seems to outshine the competition. The display appears almost flawlessly white, whereas the Nook still has a hint of gray. Additionally, Amazon has enhanced the battery life, boasting eight weeks of use even with the light on (compared to the Nook’s one month). The Kindle Paperwhite features a touch screen, effectively replacing the Kindle Touch in Amazon's e-reader lineup.
