This is an odd release as 6" screen seem to be going the way of the Dodo. Last edited by JSWolf; 12-06-2021 at 03:02 PM. |

But they sell and advertise the previous generations of Paperwhites as well. Yes, there's bigger screens available, but that doesn't mean the 6" screen is gone. (As you can see.)

Looks like the Nook GlowLight 4 can now be ordered online. According to the test checkout, if I choose expedited shipping the GL4 would be delivered on Thursday, 12/9. (And, no, I'm not ordering one.)

Well, I'm stupiderer than you! I just ordered one!
I had actually checked this morning and they weren't available. Thanks for the heads-up. Edit: It shipped last night, maybe here Friday. Last edited by Renate; 12-07-2021 at 05:04 AM. |

Of course I'll be reading the reviews on the GL4. I'm happy B&N is staying in the Nook business. |

OK you guys. Just a week ago I posted that I didn’t want to go back to a 6 inch reader, but now I am interested. I have always loved my Nooks. Does anyone know the weight of the GL4? The GL 7.8 is a little heavier than I would like.

I'm not seeing a 10% discount on ordering online with my B&N Membership. I suppose I'll drive ~30 mins to grab the product in-store on Wednesday.
Edit - Nevermind! Seeing the discount and even a larger one, as it's calling it an "Employee discount of -15% off" for some reason... I'll take it. Last edited by christianbk; 12-06-2021 at 11:21 PM. |

I think I read somewhere it was 6 ounces, which would make it about 171 grams. And in the B&N announcement they said this was the lightest Nook eReader yet — so that figures sounds about right. In comparison the GL3 weighed 6.7 ounces (190 grams). The 7.8" Glowlight Plus is 9.6 ounces (272 grams). The 6" GL Plus weighed 6.9 ounces (196 grams), the GlowLight (1, original) was the previous lightest at 175 grams. The Simple Touch was about 212 grams. The original Nook was 329 grams (WiFi version) and 343 grams for the Cellular/WiFi version.

You quoted the message, but cut the relevant part: Quote:
The 2015 Plus is waterproof, but no orange light. The 3 is not waterproof, but has the orange light. I was hoping (expecting, really) that the 4 would have both. Alas, it does not Last edited by ZodWallop; 12-07-2021 at 12:28 PM. |
