哪一个是最好的背光式电纸书？
随着sony退出电纸书市场，巴诺书店（Barnes and Noble）在英国推出新的Nook Glowlight电纸书，将和Kindle Paperwhite一较高下。
两种商品的价格相差20英镑，你愿意多花点钱买paperwhite还是买Glowlight（低于100英镑的电纸书）拿去度假？
我们将会比较这两种电纸书以决出哪一个是最好的。
设计方面的比拼
Kindle Paperwhite:206g,塑料外壳，并且是软触摸背部
Nook GlowLight：175g，塑料外壳，并且是软触摸背部和硅制的外边
从尺寸考虑的话，想从两者之间挑选出最好的是比较困难的。作为一件廉价电纸书，两件产品几乎有着相同的尺寸，尽管其中的一件当然可能更薄，它们握在手里都非常的轻。比起Ppaerwhite矩形的外观设计，Glowlight则选择了更凸显曲线美的外观设计，但是两者都有一个软触摸背部，所以二者在提供更长的阅读时间上不相上下。
这两种电纸书产品都不能像翻实体书那样的翻转页面，并且不能扩充内存，所以你只有通过触摸屏来翻转页面，并且通过已有的内置内存来储存你的所有的电纸书，杂志和报纸。
两种电纸书之中，拥有全黑塑胶外观设计的Paperwhite看起来似乎更美观一些。
Glowlight 的全白塑胶和硅的外边看起来有一点俗气。并且橡胶的外边感觉就快要脱离机身一样。Paperwhite放在背包里很多天也不容易弄脏，而白色的Glowlight则正好相反。
胜者：Kindle Paperwhite
屏幕方面的比拼
Kindle Paperwhite：6英寸758*1024的Carte电纸书显示屏和221外围设备接口。
Nook Glowlight：6英寸75881024的电子墨珍珠显示屏和221外围设备接口。
这两种产品从规格上来看是同等的，当你把两种产品叠放在一起时仍有一些能让人引起注意的些微的差别。
就Glowlight 来说，做到和Paperwhite同等尺寸的显示屏和glowlight的前身机比起来是一个重大的进步并且之前机子上出现的“重影”效果也已被消除。尽管运用在Paperwhite上的Carta电子墨显示屏试图提高它的对比效果，让文本看起来比上一代的Paperwhite 看起来更黑。当你把这两种产品的屏幕放在一起对比的时候，你会发现亚马逊出品的电子书看起来对比感更强，并且可以通过更精确的白色背景来创造出更有平衡感的显示效果。
并不需要花太长的时间来区别两种产品的屏幕触摸效果。Paperwhite会用到更通常使用的电容性显示频，而Glowlight则采用了红外线技术，因此Glowlight在机器的敏感度和反应时间方面就会有点慢。当然，这并不会破坏阅读体验，但是Ppaperwhite却在这方面做得更好。
胜者：Kindle Paperwhite
储存量和连通性方面的较量
Kindle Paperwhite：免费的云储存空间，1G内存，可储存1000本书，3G和wifi网络。
Nook Glowlight：免费的云储存空间，2G内存，可储存2000本书，wifi网络。
胜者：双方持平
由此可以得出Kindle Paperwhite在综合性能上胜出，你多花出的一些钱是值得的。
Which is the best backlit eReader?
As Sony pulls out of the eReader business, Barnes and Noble brings the new Nook GlowLight to the UK to take on the Kindle Paperwhite.
With a £20 difference between the two, do you get more for your money with the Paperwhite or is the GlowLight the sub-£100 ebook reader to take on holiday?
We compare the two to find out which one is best.
Kindle Paperwhite vs Nook GlowLight: Design
Kindle Paperwhite: 206g, Plastic with soft touch back
Nook GlowLight: 175g, Plastic with soft touch back and silicon trim
Dimensions-wise, there's very little to choose between the two. Both are roughly the same size as a small paperback book - though much thinner of course - and are extremely light to hold in the hand. The Glowlight does opt for a more curvaceous look compared to the Paperwhite’s rectangular design but both have a soft touch back. So they are equally equipped for those longer reading sessions.
There's no physical page turning or expandable memory on either reader so you are relying on the touchscreen to get around and internal storage to store all of your ebooks, magazines and newspapers.
The Kindlewhite with its all black tablet-inspired design is the better-looking of the two ebook readers. The GlowLight's all-white with silicon trim is a little bit tacky and as we mentioned in our GlowLight review, the rubber trim can come away from the body. It's an ebook reader that doesn't take long to get grubby when it's been in a bag for a couple of days as well.
Winner: Kindle Paperwhite
Kindle Paperwhite vs Nook GlowLight: Screen
Kindle Paperwhite: 6-inch 758 x 1024 Paperwhite Carta e-paper display, 212 PPI
Nook GlowLight: 6-inch 758 x 1024 E-Ink Pearl display, 212 PPI
The two displays are identical in the specs department but there's some subtle differences that are more noticeable when you line up the two eReaders next to each other.
For the GlowLight, the move to a Paperwhite-equalling display is a big improvement on its predecessor and the 'Ghosting' that the previously model suffered from has been eliminated. The new Carta E-ink screen on the Paperwhite, though, aims to improve contrast and to make text appear blacker than the last gen Paperwhite. When you compare it to the GlowLight, those blacks do look more impressive on the Amazon eReader as do the more accurate white backgrounds to create a more balance display.
It doesn't take long to notice the difference in touchscreen performance either. While the Paperwhite uses a more commonly used capacitive display, the GlowLight uses infrared technology. The responsiveness and reaction to screen interactions is a little slower on the Nook GlowLight. It won't ruin the eReading experience altogether but it could definitely be better.
Winner: Kindle Paperwhite
Kindle Paperwhite vs Nook GlowLight: Storage and Connectivity
Kindle Paperwhite: Free cloud storage, 1GB for 1,000 books, 3G and Wi-Fi options
NOOK GlowLight: Free cloud storage, 2GB for 2,000 books, Wi-Fi option
Winner: Tie
This is a comprehensive victory for the Kindle Paperwhite，and the Kindle is still way out on top and is worth spending that extra money for.
