Barnes and Noble’s forthcoming e-reader: a new Kindle alternative?

It’s always refreshing when a promising new product enters an Amazon-dominated market, which is why I’m excited about Barnes and Noble’s Nook Glowlight 4 Plus. Available on September 6th, it seems to share much in common with the best e-readers, like waterproofing, a sharp display, and page-turning buttons. We’ll likely be testing it soon, so stay tuned.
