Barnes & Noble gives its compact e-reader a fresh look with the Nook GlowLight 4 Ocean Teal Edition, arriving November 20 at the same $149.99 price as the standard black model. It’s a color refresh rather than a hardware update, aimed at readers who want a stylish twist without sacrificing the features that made this device popular.
The Ocean Teal finish covers the front, sides, and back for a unified, modern aesthetic. It follows earlier color runs that included the original Black and a limited Pearl Pink edition that sold out quickly and is no longer available. This new variant marks the third colorway since the GlowLight 4 debuted in 2021.
Under the new paint, everything you know about the GlowLight 4 remains intact. The e-reader features a 6-inch E Ink display with a crisp 300 ppi for paper-like text. Its screen is slightly recessed rather than flush, unlike the larger GlowLight 4 Plus, and it’s protected by an anti-glare, scratch- and fingerprint-resistant layer for comfortable reading in bright or indoor environments.
Fans of physical controls will appreciate the dedicated page-turn buttons on both sides of the display. Connectivity is covered with Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, and charging is handled through USB‑C. You get 32 GB of internal storage for a sizable personal library, though there’s no microSD card slot. Battery life is rated for up to a month on a single charge, depending on usage.
