Here are the latest news about Nook Glowlight Plus:
2023. New waterproof 7.8″ Nook GlowLight 4 Plus is available
In the grand tradition of unveiling slightly shinier things to make you part with your money, Barnes & Noble has officially flung open the digital curtain on the Nook GlowLight 4 Plus, a 7.8-inch e-reader that promises to bring you literature, audiobooks, and a faint whiff of superiority for a mere $199 (pre-orderable now with free shipping, because nothing says "luxury" like avoiding delivery fees). This gadget, which will lurk tantalizingly out of reach for a few more months, is essentially a spruced-up descendent of the 2019 Nook GlowLight Plus—a device that was itself a revelation in the world of 7.8-inch book-shaped rectangles. Now featuring a flush-front screen (ooh), physical page-turn buttons on both sides (aah), and the aquatic bravado of waterproofing, it also embraces B&N’s audiobooks with the gusto of a new hobbyist. The battery, blessedly long-lived, claims to deliver up to three weeks of uninterrupted literary consumption or about nine hours of Bluetooth audio marathons—enough to get through several volumes of Vogon poetry, should you be so inclined.
2019. Barnes & Noble’s Nook e-reader returns with a larger screen
Barnes & Noble continues to release products sporadically, including the larger, improved Nook GlowLight Plus. The new reader retains the classic Nook soft-touch design, paired with a significantly larger 7.8-inch screen featuring the signature front lighting. Bulkiness has always been somewhat of a concern with the Nook and this is likely more pronounced with the increased size. It’s a trade-off for a more comfortable device and the price is quite reasonable at $199. This includes 8GB of built-in storage and a battery that lasts for weeks. The physical page buttons, which Amazon has since reintroduced, are also present. Additionally, the new Nook is waterproof, ideal for those summer reading mishaps.
