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.

Kobo Glo vs Nook GlowLight in our news:
2019. Kobo boosts performance of PDF files
Kobo has just issued a new firmware update for all of their e-readers. They have increased the performance of PDF files and they now load more quickly. You can now customize the header and footer with information such as viewing page numbers, percent read, time remaining, or turn off the header, footer, or progress bar entirely.
2013. B&N drops Nook GlowLight price to $99. Undercuts Amazon and Kobo
Barnes & Noble has just revealed a $20 price reduction, lowering the GlowLight’s price to just $99. This makes the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight the most affordable option in the high-end e-reader market. The ad-supported Kindle Paperwhite is priced at $119 and the Kobo Glo is $129.99. Featuring a front-lit display called GlowLight, the Nook Simple Touch GlowLight offers a gentle illumination that differs from traditional backlighting. It’s easier on the eyes, although the light reduces battery life by half — which is not a major issue since it still lasts for 2 months. The price reduction suggests that Barnes & Noble might be aiming to clear out inventory before introducing a new model. Remember, the company recently announced it will cease in-house tablet development but intends to continue producing e-readers.
