Barnes and Noble doesn’t put Nook ebook readers on sale very often, but right now they have the Nook Glowlight 3 on sale.
Normally the Nook Glowlight 3 sells for $119 but B&N currently has it marked down to $95.99—that’s 20% off.
The Glowlight 3 is the latest 6-inch Nook that was released in November 2017.
It has a 300 ppi E Ink screen and a frontlight with adjustable color temperature.
It also has 8GB of storage space and page buttons on both sides of the screen.
The Nook Glowlight 3 has slightly better contrast than the new 7.8-inch Nook Glowlight Plus because it uses an infrared touchscreen, but unlike the new Nook, the 6-inch model isn’t waterproof and it doesn’t support B&N audio.
The buttons are also a bit louder on the 6-inch model but for less than half the price you can’t have everything.
When is B&N going to fix the Glowlight3’s buggy software?
Several weeks ago, I had to de-register and reinstall everything because I could no longer open my books- neither B&N books nor sideloaded books. At a B&N store, we tried reinstalling B&N-purchased books-didn’t work.So we had to de-register and reinstall.
This was my second de-register and reinstall- for the above reason. I noticed that some weeks after my first de-register and reinstall, some of the covers would no longer show.
Guess what? Several weeks into my first reinstall,the covers began disappearing again. Which means that within several months, I will no longer be able to open my B&N or sideloaded books, and will have to de-register and reinstall.
Talk about buggy software….
Talk about software not improving,but getting worse….
Amigo, it’s B&N. The most incompetent company in the world. What do you expect?
