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

Black and white plus buttons

I have a Pocketbook Era, the build quality seems excellent. I've only owned it since summer of 2024, having bought it used on eBay, but it's solid, and feels like quality. Pocketbook might be a bit more fiddly for dialing in your experience, there's a fair amount of customizations. If you don't plan

Love Glowlight 4 Plus & what I’m reading

Thanks for the positive post, love seeing happy Nook people besides myself. Been a Nook user since Day 1. I’ve had all of the e-ink versions except for any of the 4 series. Been debating upgrading to the GlowLight 4 Plus from my OG GlowLight Plus. But been trying to hold out for the rumors about new

Kindle vs. NOOK book selection: is the difference in really that noticeable?

honestly, if you're comfortable with calibre and sideloading, the library difference is way less noticeable. i went with the Nook GlowLight 4 specifically for those page turn buttons and the ability to pop into a store to preview books. you can grab epubs from other stores or your local library and

Kindle vs kobo vs Nook

TL:DR - Buy the Clara BW Nook Glowlight 4 - Terrific hardware (likely the best of the bunch) but super basic software. Borrowing library books is a hassle. You will NOT be able to store your purchased ebooks anywhere. It is very difficult to download Nook books anymore. Kindle Basic - Basic is in th

What’s your favorite e-Reader and why?

Nook GlowLight 4+ its simplicity is what makes it shine. Sure, it’s not the fastest device out there, but that doesn’t bother me one bit. I love that I can transfer files via USB from my phone or PC without needing to convert anything, even when I’m on the move. The physical button and display are j

Get my Nook Glowlight 4 Plus tomorrow!! SO EXCITED!!

If you converted your Amazon eBooks to EPUB, you should be able to connect the NOOK GlowLight 4 Plus to your computer with a USB cable and drag-and-drop the EPUBs onto the NOOK. Put the EPUBs in the "NOOK" folder. B&N does NOT give you a digital copy of your eBook. So you cannot "do the reverse" lik

Are there any benefits...

There is no benefit to having a NOOK over a Kindle eReader, even if the B&N is 5 minutes from you. The only benefit would be if you decide to sign up for a Barnes & Noble membership (there are 2 tiers: free and $40 paid) to earn stamps. You get 1 stamp for every $10 PRE-TAX spent on B&N items. When

Go 7 experiences and battery disappointment

This was my biggest disappointment with my Go Color 7 (1st gen) and why I returned it. I only wanted an e-reader and Android was a plus due to versatility. However, the battery life was measured in a couple of days, when I was used to my Kindle's month-long battery life. I actually ended up giving m

It seems I'm a nook owner again, after 15 years. A few questions!

There's no specific setting to toggle to enable syncing of sideloaded content. If you have, for example: Moby_Dick.EPUB sideloaded into the NOOK for Android app Moby_Dick.EPUB sideloaded on your NOOK GlowLight 4 Plus (GL4P) The last page read while in the NOOK for Android app will sync to the servers,
