Glo died - what to get used & cheap?

luckycharms · 01-08-2017, 03:12 PM

Hi all,

Stepped in the edge of my Kobo Glo, heard a small *crack*, and knew right away I was now in the market for a new reader. I'm in the UK.

Glo was great, and am looking for these specs: integrated light, easily managed by calibre, ability to load my own ebooks without problem. I've been looking for used Glo's and Aura's, since I had a decent experience with Kobo, but I'm not finding much on offer that's as cheap as I expected. Auras around £70 on eBay, found a Glo on gumtree for £50...

I may still go that route, but was wondering if there are other ereaders with those specs that are more available and discounted on the used market - any ideas?

Thanks all!

Allie

Try looking for Nook Glowlight or Kobos on ebay. I see them for less than 50 pounds. The Nook can be rooted so collections can be stored in folders.

Energy Sistem had the Pro+ refurb with 3year warranty for about £58 delivered. THey've gone out of stock again but they may get them back.
