Glowlight 4 Plus on sale

Not that anyone on Mobileread would be interested, Barnes & Noble has the Nook Glowlight 4 Plus on sale for $149.99 ($50 off). If you like a larger reader with page turn buttons, this might be it. Barnes & Noble software is not the best but it reads books just fine.

I'm holding off while my Aura One still works, but if its li'l innards pack it in the Glowlight Four Plus would be by far the best replacement from what's out there right now. Everything else is smaller or pricier or color and sometimes all three. But I'm playing chicken right now.

For what it's worth, Amazon has the GL4P renewed for $99 at the moment. With the 8" BW eReader horizon looking bleak, I'm considering it. 90 day return/refund sweetens the deal.

Given that you have a Kobo, you'll hate the B&N firmware. It's very poor.

I've watched a bunch of videos. The only thing that I think would bother me is the inability to get rid of the header and the footer. But I would have to live with the device for a bit to find out if I continued to notice it in the long run.

There is no reason to believe that either Kobo or Amazon are going to release a device that has the form factor I want.

For those who loves Kobo libra 2, Certified Refurbished version is available in Canada on ca.kobobooks.com in "Certified Refurbished" section. Plus you can get free red or black cover. For me Kobo libra 2 - one of the best e-reader because of contrast, light and customization

I do have to second JSWolf's assertion that the Nook software sucks. It's very nice hardware, but atrocious software. I wouldn't recommend one unless you're willing to go through the hoops of rooting or loading an alternative launcher on it so that you could use it as a multi-purpose android eReader, because the "stock" experience is rather frustrating.

It does look like you can get an alt launcher and koreader on it without rooting (though I could easily be wrong) In any case, I looked up the weight of it and it is too heavy for me anyway. So it’s a no. Thanks for your input.
