Barnes & Noble NOOK GlowLight 4 Plus eReader 7.8-inch 32GB BNRV1300 Waterproof (Renewed), Black

It is light and good quality. The 7.8 inch screen is way better to read than the 6 inch found in many other similar priced products. Also, it runs Android! Which means you can, through some means, get it to run custom launcher and custom readers. And it would become truly your own reader.

Don’t waste your money. I’ve been a loyal nook owner since their very first model, and they knowingly released a faulty product and would rather lose customers than make it right. Originally when I bought the device, it would crash randomly when reading books. That got resolved, mostly, after a few updates. However, the other day I left it on the charger to update since I usually leave the WiFi off since it drains battery and when I came back a few hours later it was completely stuck on a screen telling me to wait a moment because it was updating. Well, unless a moment is longer than 10 hours to B&N that was a lie. I followed all the troubleshooting steps. Held the power button both on and off the charger, left it to charge and then tried all the same steps and nothing works. Talked to support and the best they could give me is to send it in to get a discount on the latest model. THIS IS THE LATEST MODEL! Absolutely abysmal. Only reason I’ve stuck with Nook is because they have great physical page turn buttons. Their software is worse than the competitors, their battery life is worse than the competitors and their hardware is worse than them too. Others have reported this same issue and even had their replacements have the same issue. I’ve decided to jump ship to Kobo. I suggest you either do that, or decide you don’t care about physical page turn buttons and get a kindle.

Love it. Can add lots of books so you have them all in one place

I love ane reader and have enjoyed my Nooks for several years. On occasion one dies an unnatural death. I may have dropped it while soaking in the tub or some other abuse I tend to heap on my devices. At the price for these reconditioned ones I don’t panic as badly as I might, otherwise. Is the episode panic free? No. I must have something to read at any given moment. I MUST be able to read in bed before I go to sleep or in the middle of the night, if I’m awake. At the point that my previous Nook stops working, I fuss around trying to coax it to live again, I order a replacement, then wait for it to come, I have a true “reading emergency”. Thank God for Amazon Prime! It prevents full on breakdowns. The set up is easy, I don’t lose my saved books, and can pick up where I left off in just enough time to rescue the box from a coarse addicted dog who watches for deliveries, rip the box open and plug in the new one. As soon as it is charged I can get going again, and am a happy camper. Speaking of that, I have had to have an order sent to another address when I am truly camping. The transition is smooth,, with relatively low drama, and the reading emergency is over. The most recent time I ordered an extra as backup for when the inevitable happens.

I bought this Nook for my husband since he loves to read ebooks at the beach or pool. It was a plus to find one that says it is water resistant and so far it seems to be. However, after just a few minutes in the sun, it shuts off and says that it needs to cool down. So overall, the size is great, the screen quality is great, but it isn't functional for half of the time that we need it to be. Good for indoor use.

I have owned every model of Kindle since the very first one was released. I have become concerned at Jeff Bezos’s politics and am reducing my spend on his businesses. This is a decent product, it generally works well but from time to time simply locks up and has to be reset. On some books, it doesn’t save your place so you have to tag your page. But, the design is simple and lightweight. Ordering books through its ecosystem is easy, but there’s very different choices of books. I’m not yet convinced this the way to go, though. I may buy a small tablet and use that with my library’s ebook lending instead.

These are great devices. We bought them for the whole family this Christmas to make reading more entertaining. The kids have really enjoy picking books online and being able to read them instantly. They were refurbished so I always have concerns but they work flawlessly. They are durable, light weight, and easy to use. These were a great buy for our family. We have no complaints with these devices.

The seller did not include the USB-C charger in the order. Do not update the software because after it, the battery wont work as it should and only last a couple hours. I’m not happy with this item.
