Nook GlowLight 4

People avoid the Nook for a few reasons: Nooks are only available in the US. Technically you can use them outside the US, but you're likely to run into issues with actually purchasing things on it. They do, naturally, work outside the US for reading, but the actual process of buying books is US-cent

Great write-up. Despite a lot of drawbacks, the hardware is great especially if you enjoy pageturn buttons. I have NOOK, Kobo, Kindle and Boox devices and always grab my NOOK GlowLight 4 or 4 Plus to read.

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.

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

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,

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 !

My favorite ereader is a Nook Glow Light 4 Plus lmao. 7.8 inches, 4 physical buttons, USB-C, and android 8.1 so you can still run einkbro, koreader, a file manager, etc.

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
