It really all depends on when and where you read. The nook simple touch is best used outside or where light is available. Its text is very sharp but it does not come with an anti reflective coating on the screen. The glow light nook can be used anywhere, but is especially nice if you read at night because you don't need to turn on other lights or have a clip on light for the nook itself. The text isn't quite as sharp as the nook simple touch without glow light but is still very easy to read. This is because it comes with an antireflective coating on the screen. So you have to ask yourself when and where you do most of your reading and if you think having a backlight would be a good thing for you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Based on the reviews i've seen, it is essentially the same as the SImple Touch, but with the glow light. To get the glow light to work properly, there is a permanent screen protector that does reduce the contrast of the screen very slightly. According to reviewers it is not really noticeable unless the two are side by side. Just do a search for "Nook Glow" and you'll find several in depth reviews. I'm planning to get one ASAP.
