Here are the latest news about Nook Glowlight Plus:
2023. New waterproof 7.8″ Nook GlowLight 4 Plus is available
Barnes and Noble has officially unveiled the Nook GlowLight 4 Plus, a new model of its e-reader with a 7.8-inch screen that costs $199. It's essentially an updated version of Nook GlowLight Plus, which was released in 2019 as BN's first Nook with a large screen. The new Nook features physical page-turning buttons on either side of the display and (most importantly) is waterproof. It's rated IPx7, allowing the device to be submerged in 3 feet of (fresh - not sea) water for up to 30 minutes. Plus, it now supports B&N audiobooks - there's even a separate tab for audiobooks. A single battery charge lasts for 3 weeks of reading and continuous audio playback via Bluetooth can last for about 9 hours.
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.
