2015-10-21
hey I'm David Carter from cnet.com and I'm here with the new nuke glow light plus this is Barnes & Noble's first ereader in two years and yes the Nook is back this is a device that excuse very much towards the paperwhite in terms of aspects it has a 300 dpi screen it's a little heavier than the old Nook at 6.9 ounces it has two point six gigabytes of memory and it also is waterproof that's one of the key differentiating features here it is ip67 rated which means you can actually drop it in your bathtub and completely submerge it it's worth noting that the back of the device is made out of aluminum it is kind of a bronze color and while it looks like classy it is actually metal as far as the built-in light goes it's supposed to be a little bit more uniform than the previous light in the older nook Barnes ennoble is calling it built-in ambient light and it does appear to be a very nice lighting scheme the previous Nook glow light was also a white device this one doesn't have the kind of rubberized finish on the sides it is a smooth metallic finish as I said so it's a little bit slippery but bars Moe is selling some cases of course the last feature I should highlight is the fact that this has a capacitive touch screen and not the infrared touch screen that the previous model had capacitive touch screens are a little bit more responsive and overall the device should be a little bit smoother particularly because Barnes and will has revised the software that this device runs on is also revised its apps this is a hundred and thirty dollar eReader it's Wi-Fi only no cellular and is available now I'm Dave Carney and that's the Nook glow light plus thanks for watching
