I went into the new B&N near me and bought one today. There was a sign by the front entrance that said "Introducing the new Glowlight Plus" or something like that. They didn't have it set up with the other display devices yet. But when I asked, they had one I could see at the cashier desk. It was nice to be able to handle it without being tethered to a security cable. The two employees who helped me out were very enthusiastic mentioning that how they had a demonstration of it on Friday. (Nice change from when I asked about the Glowlight 3 during its first week and the reaction was "We have a new Nook?") Mine was the first one they sold. One of them also said they had heard a rumor that B&N was about to start an audiobook subscription service and that was the reason for the bluetooth and headphone jack.

Very pleased so far. Feels wonderful to hold. Screen is crisp. Happy with the page turn buttons. Just got some books sideloaded. Off to read...

ETA: $179.99 with member discount
