Barnes & Noble announced the new NOOK GlowLight, designed especially for people who love escaping into a great book - anytime, anywhere. Tremendously light, with a fresh, contemporary design and soft-touch back that fits beautifully in the hand, NOOK GlowLight features perfectly lit pages, sharper text and advanced display technology for an optimized long-form reading experience that's more natural and immersive than ever.

"Barnes & Noble was the first company to recognize and answer E Ink customers' number one request with a breakthrough integrated light for reading in the dark and today, with the new NOOK GlowLight, we've taken the reading experience to a new level," said Mahesh Veerina, Chief Operating Officer of NOOK Media. "We developed an all new lightweight design that's extremely comfortable to hold in one hand for people who love to read anytime, anywhere."

Building on its bookselling heritage and deep customer insights, the company has put everything readers love into one device, enhanced the way they can discover and enjoy content - both old and new, and put it all in a comfortable to hold, redesigned, lightest NOOK ever.

"Lighter and brighter, with crisp, sharp text, no full page flashing and no ads, our redesigned reading experience is more immersive than ever making the device a must-have item for long-form readers. We welcome customers to their local Barnes & Noble store where they can try the new NOOK GlowLight and see it shine," Veerina said.

The new NOOK GlowLight is available at Barnes & Noble stores and on the retailer's website for $119.
