I saw a post on MobileRead yesterday with the picture above showing Kobo software running on a Nook Glowlight Plus (the 7.8″ model from 2019), and somehow this achievement isn’t getting any attention.

Kindle vs Kobo Clara BW and Clara Colour Comparison Review
I thought it would be interesting to compare the current state of the lower end Kindle with the new Kobo Clara BW and the Kobo Clara Colour. I recently posted about how Kindles are lagging behind the competition, and this is good example of that. There’s only a $10 price difference between the Kindle and […]
