Barnes & Noble releases glow-in-the-dark Nook e-reader

12.04.2012

The company said the screen is a big advance over its existing e-readers and sets it apart from its main rival, Amazon.

The new e-reader has Wi-Fi and weighs less than 7 ounces (198 grams), making it lighter than the original Nook Simple Touch e-reader. It's priced at US$139 and will go on sale in the U.S. in May. Details for international availability weren't available.
