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.

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.

weight the same as a mini tablet and so conveinent to have so many books stored in one easy portable place

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.

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

Bought it in March. It froze up on me two weeks ago and won't do anything. Not happy with my purchase.
