My birthday is coming up and I want an eReader but I'm overwhelmed with choices. Any personal favourites or suggestions?
Device Reasoning (ignore this section unless you're curious) - Kobo Libra H2O (I see one in pretty nice condition for $145 on eBay. It's an older device than the Libra 2, but it still serves pretty well.)- Kindle Paperwhite 6, also sometimes called the 12th gen (I'm going to go ahead and rule this o

Lenovo Frost Blue~I Love It!
It's probably not talked about a lot because it's just a Lenovo M9 Android tablet with the NOOK and Barnes & Noble brand engraved on the back. These devices were in the market almost 6-7 months before Barnes and Noble had Lenovo manufacturer some with the NOOK sticker on them. The screen resolution

Ocean Teal GL4
Agree with this. As a kindle user with the latest model paperwhite, I still prefer the nook glow light 4 hardware wise. The screen, buttons, and form factor is just superior. Barnes & Noble just tortures us with the horrendous software.

Coming back
I love my GlowLight 4! I mostly borrow books from the library. Setting up Adobe Digital Editions to get the epub files from libby onto my nook was a pain, but it was well worth the effort. I love the physical buttons and it's the perfect size for my bag and for the using on the commute

New Nook GlowLight 4 Color Incoming - Ocean Teal
They make it so hard to be ride or die for Nook. I have only ever had Nook and owned the very first one way back when. I know they said in 2026 we can expect the Glow Light 5 or whatever it's going to be, but tough to get excited about the same ereader that has been available for a long time and it'

Help me read at night!
I have been a pretty big reader most of my life but convincing myself to read in bed was always really hard for me, shifting back and forth to catch the light from a lamp or re adjusting a clip on light every few pages drove me nuts. I got a nook glowlight 4e and have never read so much in my life.

I need a 7-8" BW ereader with buttons. Suggestions?
Choices are definitely limited for new in this form factor and for a BW screen. If you can find a Kobo Sage, it's an excellent device. The same is true for the Kobo Libra 2, but they are in high demand used, so it could take some patience. Kobo Forma is not a bad option, but, being older than Sage,

Nook Glowlight 4 Plus?
Yes, if you want a 7.8-inch black-and-white e-ink screen and to purchase, read, and move on to the next eBook, the NOOK GlowLight 4 Plus (2023) is perfect.** Crisp text, warm or cool light, and if you want to listen to any audiobooks you purchase from B&N, it has a 3.5mm audio jack or Bluetooth capa

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

How are the current Nook devices?
I grabbed a nook glowlight 4 used from and it works great. Love the lighting and page turn buttons. I use calibre and it works great. I'd highly recommend it !
