The New Ereaders

While we are on the topic of ereaders, I found two new ereaders that have two impressive new features.

Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight


I have the first Nook that Barnes and Noble came out with, which I love (in case I haven't mentioned that before). The Nook Simple Touch was already one of the best, if not the best ereader out there. For me, it's now officially the best ereader because it took one simple step that every other ereader has failed to do. The Nook Simple Touch now has a new front lit display. This means for all you late night readers, you can read in the dark! The LED light sits at the top of the page and goes through the screen evenly. The great thing about this light and the new material Barnes and Nobles is using for their screen is that the light doesn't make the words harder to read. The new material for the screen is also more resistant to scrapes then older models.

A new ereader is in production by LG. They have created a flexible ereader that is made of malleable plastic. It contains a six inch display and can bend up to 40 degrees. It's thinner than glass models, weighs less, and is super durable. 

I'm very interested in seeing where these two features go in both of these ereaders. What do you think? Are they good ideas? Which do you like better?
