Coming back

If you’re looking to get away from Amazon because it’s Amazon, that’s one way to do it. (But you still won’t find the books from KU on Nook.) If you don’t like what Amazon is doing with locking down their ebooks, be aware that B&N has been doing that with their books since 2014. So you won’t be help

Is it safe to use a magsafe adapter sticker on a Nook 4?

I use magsagfe popsockets and magnetic rings on mine just fine. The only thing that I would suggest is that you put the magnetic circle sticker on a case, not directly on the NOOK GlowLight 4 device. It flexes the casing every time I remove it and I am probably going to use goo-be-gone to try to rem

Where are the clear cases For GL4’s

If the NOOK GlowLight 4 were water and dustproof, having a clear shell case would be a good idea. However, the device is NOT waterproof, and like all e-ink screens, can be cracked or scratched. I think the best B&N could do, given the device is not waterproof, is offer a folio cover with a clear or
