New devices confirmed for 2026

I’ve always loved Barnes & Noble and have owned almost every version of nook they’ve ever released. I would normally be very excited about this announcement. But if they don’t fix the software “problem” with the fonts I won’t be buying any more nooks. I have vision loss and haven’t been able to use

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.)

Is it still worth it to get a Nook Glowlight 4 Teal in 2026?

If you like reading in night mode, you’ll be disappointed. I have the previous “limited edition” Glowlight 4 (the pink and white one) and rarely use it because of its lack of night mode. What they call “dark mode” is what others call warm light. Aside from that reading on it is fine (but yes a littl
