Looking to get an ereader and the popular consensus seems to be that nooks are terrible. I would honestly love if someone would tell me that’s not the case— I’m a perpetual BN member, they’re less expensive than other non-kindle ereaders and they seem to be a decent size.
So tell it to me straight, would you buy a nook again?
Power button for 30 seconds. Home button for 30 seconds. Both for 30 seconds. Nothing is working.
Edit 1: charged for 3 hours straight. Still stuck at same point. No changes whatsoever. Tried all the button combination but nothing to avail.
Edit 2 : it worked. Connected it to pc and had to gard reset. The home button is broken. That's what created all the fuss.
Greetings. I'm currently using the nook app on my Galaxy Z fold 8 Ultra and am experiencing 2 issues that are annoying.
When I create a shelf a number of books that I add to it are deleted after about 30 minutes ( never timed it to see how long .. just guessing ) and it goes back to the bigger pool of books that I have in folder. How can I get the shelves to stay as I curated
on the Barnes and noble website a number of books stopped showing the cover art for books that I purchased. That then causes the cover art to not appear on the nook app. I can still read the book but for the aesthetic I hate it. Is there any way to resolve these two issues
I've long been a fan of Barnes and Noble's Nook hardware, all the way back to the Nook Simple Touch back in 2012.
But their software is so lacking and just doesn't improve much with time. I wish they would scrap it and use KOReader as the base of their software. They could layer their own look over it and stock KOReader is likely too technical for the average reader.
But KOReader with Zen UI or Bookshelf is already SO much better than what Nooks ship with out of the box.
I am looking at buying NOOK GlowLight 4 but not loving that I would have to use Adobe Digital Editions software and have access to the Internet with my computer for adding web articles I convert to EPUB and then turn on Wi-fi on nook connect to hotel Wi-Fi and then download the EPUB files.
I am not interested in color Eink or magazines with photos just text only reading of articles and converted MS Word docs/PDF to EPUB format to read and resize the font (when needed). I like Nook's physical page turning buttons. I would use it to read more articles I've saved from webpages rather than e-books. I also may subscribe to a digital version of NY Times for a month or so at a time.
I used to have an old Nook circa 2014 that had MicroSD card slot that I could load my own EPUB files onto using a MicroSD card reader with my PC. I bought only a handful of ebooks from nook store.
Is there an equivalent E-ink Nook device or what was the last model that still had the card slot that I could buy used? While I do not like Amazon much as a company I could use a Kindle paperwhite. thoughts?
Hi folks! My mom recently rediscovered two old nooks: a Nook HD (BNTV400) and a Nook Tablet (BNTV250A).
After booting them up I realized they’re no longer supported. I followed the B&N “remaining functionality” instructions on the Nook HD but found that to leave it absolutely useless (I can’t transfer anything onto it when in the “test” profile?). I decided to not mess with the Nook Tablet until I know what I’m doing.
Does anyone have resources/instructions for how to make these into usable tablets? I’d love to somehow get Libby on them, but even just use of the internet, ability to read a PDF, or any functionality would be great!
Detailed instructions HUGELY appreciated - I haven’t gone into the realm of jailbreaking electronics before but desperately want a good e-reader for my commute and can’t justify buying one.
I have two Nook Simple Touch ereaders in good working condition.
One is the non-glowlight version BNRV300, the other is the glowlight version BNRV350.
I bought them a while back to play with and never really ended up using them.
They aren't worth listing on Ebay/FB Market due to fees and crazy buyers.
Is there anyone here who could put these to good use? (US only)
I got a Glowlight 3 the other day and I'm really hoping this wasn't a too good to be true purchase.
I got it for $20 and it seemed to be working fine, the seller didn't report any issues. Now that I have it, it won't connect to internet. I tried my regular wifi and my mobile hotspot. I rebooted the router even though everything else was connected to wifi fine.
So then I tried to sideload the software update for the nook as, after some googling, I found that may be the issue. But I've tried 3 different chords in my laptop and none are allowing the nook to connect. I don't see the nook in my files to install the update. When I tried plugging my phone into my computer, that showed up fast and normally in my files and I was able to sync photos instantly.
From what I've found googling so far, I need to sideload the update to connect to wifi. But then the nook may not show up in my computer, and if that happens I need to update the nook. But I can't update the nook without being able to plug it into my computer.
Can anyone tell me what to do next? Am I doing something wrong? I really don't want to believe that this was a loss because I was so happy to finally get an ereader.
