2024. Nook eReaders and Apps Can Sync Sideloaded eBooks Now
Some users on the Nook subreddit have discovered that Nook ereaders and apps can now sync sideloaded ebooks between devices and apps, although it's unclear how long this feature has been available or which models support it. Given Barnes & Noble's history with sideloading, this capability is surprising and might even seem like an unintended bug. There’s no mention of this feature for non-B&N content on the Barnes & Noble website or in their help section. To use it, simply sideload the same ebook file on your Nook devices and apps and your reading position will sync automatically. It works with EPUBs and possibly PDFs, though this hasn’t been confirmed yet.
2023. Nook iOS app adds Trends to track reading progress
Barnes & Noble has introduced a new Trends section in its Nook reading app for iPhone and iPad. It lets you track your monthly reading and listening progress. It features a reading/listening wheel that tracks the number of consecutive days you've been reading. In other words, Noble Trends is similar to the same feature in Kindle for iOS, which tracks the number of days you've been reading digital content. Users often share this progress on social media to show off their daily reading habits for years. I'd love to see this feature in their e-readers, too, not just Nook app.
2021. Nook released a new cheap Tablet for e-Reading
Barnes & Noble has launched a new Nook Tablet created by Lenovo. It’s another budget ($129) model similar to the previous Nook Tablet, featuring an even lower resolution screen (1280 x 800). On the positive side, the new Nook Tablet operates on Android 10 and includes Google Play support for installing Android apps. It is equipped with an octa-core CPU, a USB-C port, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, an FM radio, 32GB of storage and a microSD card slot. It also has an 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera and is slightly lighter than other 10-inch tablets at 420 grams.
