Now is a good time to catch up on some reading. Amazon and Barnes and Noble both have their dedicated reading devices on sale again, and the Onyx Boox Nova Pro is on sale for the first time ever.
The 7.8-inch Nook Glowlight Plus is marked down to $159.99 with free shipping. It’s the latest Nook model that B&N released last year. It has a color-adjusting frontlight, page buttons, and it’s waterproof.
The Onyx Nova Pro has a 7.8-inch E Ink screen as well, but it also doubles as a notepad and an E Ink tablet. It’s not labeled as a “sale” but it’s priced at $289 instead of the usual $319.
Amazon has the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite on sale again too, along with the Kids Kindle.
The regular Kindle is marked down $59.99 and the Kindle Paperwhite starts at $94.99 for the 8GB model with Special Offers (ads).
They also have the option to add 3 months of Kindle Unlimited for free, but note that Amazon will start charging $9.99 per month after the three months unless you cancel.
Amazon also has Fire tablets on sale for Prime members. The Fire HD 10 is down to $99 and the 8-inch model is $49 (I’d avoid the 7″ version).
Additionally, the Kindle Oasis is back in stock again. Some versions are still out of stock until April but the 8GB model is available again. It’s not on sale but at least the 4-8 weeks on backorder is over.

I like my Glowlight Plus very much. The display is very clear and the side buttons are
a big plus. I purchased a Finte clam-shell case but it added too much weight to the reader for comfortable reading. I now store the Plus in a slightly too large 10″ Laptop bag. I also own a Glowlight 3 and a Clara HD. I now prefer reading on frontlit ebook readers to reading a “real” book. Particularly, large heavy novels. At $159.99 the GLPlus is a great buy.
