I do know that most individuals don’t give a flying fig about Nooks lately, however B&N has lastly put their Nook ereaders on sale for the vacation buying season. They’d the Lenovo Nook tablets on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, however Nook ereaders had been full value throughout that point.
Now all Nook gadgets are on sale at B&N, together with the 6″ Nook Glowlight 4 and the 7.8″ Nook Glowlight 4 Plus. The Nook Lenovo tablets are on sale as nicely. All are $20 off so it’s not like some main sale, nevertheless it’s higher than nothing.
Nooks do have good {hardware} with the web page buttons and bigger bezels that present more room to carry them by, however the software program has all the time been a bit underdone, so to talk. If you will get together with the software program and B&N’s imposed limitations they will nonetheless be good ereaders.
B&N discontinued their cheaper Glowlight 4e mannequin earlier this 12 months so now they solely promote the one 6″ mannequin. It was launched 3 years in the past so it’s sort of stunning they haven’t changed it but, they usually might most likely stand to decrease the value by greater than $20 at this level.
The 7.8″ Glowlight Plus was launched in 2023 so it hasn’t been round as lengthy. Even at full value it’s cheaper than different 7.8″ fashions, however that measurement appears to be fading out. There are much more 7″ fashions lately, however not many within the 8″ vary.
I ponder if Barnes and Noble is ever going to launch a Nook with a coloration E Ink display, or in the event that they’re simply going to stay to promoting Nook tablets for coloration content material.
The Lenovo Nook tablets aren’t something particular. There’re only a common Lenovo pill with a Nook app put in, however at $129 they’re rather a lot cheaper than most ereaders with coloration E Ink screens, apart from the Kobo Clara Color, nevertheless it has a smaller 6″ display.
In line with B&N’s web site, their Nook sale runs via December thirty first. The fineprint additionally states that the provide can’t be mixed with a Premium Member low cost.
