Most people that use ereaders to read ebooks seem to think that Nooks aren’t very good and they would never consider buying one. There was a time when Nooks were seen as a good alternative to Kindles, and there was a brief time when Nooks were actually kind of popular (back in the early days). […]

New Nook Update Adds More Fonts, but Removes Georgia and Bold Setting
Barnes and Noble has found a new way to annoy Nook users. According to some posts on the Nook subreddit, B&N has started rolling out a software update for Nooks that changes the font types that are available for reading. The good news is they added some new font types to choose from. The bad […]
Will B&N Release a New Nook eReader in 2025?
Practically nobody seems to care about Nooks these days, but I wonder if that could change if B&N released something new and interesting for a change, instead of just re-releasing the same general devices over and over again. At the very least, B&N should release a new 6″ Nook at some point in 2025. Their […]
Nook Users Getting Shafted Again on Lenovo M9 Tablets
I saw this post on reddit about certain Lenovo tablets not supporting the Nook Android app, and it’s exactly the kind of problem that you’d expect to hear about when it comes to Nook and Barnes and Noble. B&N sells co-branded Lenovo tablets that come preloaded with a customized Nook app. The same Lenovo M9 […]
All Nook Devices Now On Sale Through December
I know that most people don’t give a flying fig about Nooks these days, but B&N has finally put their Nook ereaders on sale for the holiday shopping season. They had the Lenovo Nook tablets on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but Nook ereaders were full price during that time. Now all Nook […]
Out With the Nook 4e, in With Another 9″ Nook Tablet
Barnes and Noble is advertising a new Nook on their website, but it’s not really new and it’s barely even a Nook. It’s actually the same 9″ Nook Lenovo Tablet that was released earlier this year, but it’s now available in a Frost Blue color. It even has its own separate page and everything. It’s […]
Nook eReaders and Apps Can Sync Sideloaded eBooks Now
Some folks over at the Nook subreddit have discovered that Nook ereaders and Nook apps can now sync sideloaded ebooks between devices and apps. Who knows how long this has been possible or exactly which models support it and which models don’t, but given B&N’s history with sideloading ebooks, it’s surprising syncing sideloaded content works […]
Someone Got Kobo Software to Run on a Nook
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. So far there aren’t any details about how the person accomplished this feat, but they say everything works, except the display keeps […]
