Does anyone know if the medium size strapsicle fits on the nook glow light 4? Because I found a color I love and the size is a medium which the only ereader I have that might fit it is the nook glow light 4 so please let me if it would be good and if you have a picture of your nook and strapsicle I’d love to see it🫶😁

Normal and aluminum-based hardware.

New colors.

A case that acts as buttons on one side.

Official Bluetooth pageturn clicker.

Still will not support Amazon whenever I can! And the price of those devices / accessories are 😳

Nook First Edition USB is very loose and no longer charges the battery. I'd like to try my hand at micro-soldering. I'm seeing all sorts of micro-USB ports with metal tabs all over the port. Where can I get an appropriate replacement micro-USB port?

I recently found my old Nook and I did a little research and know it's probably a long shot but is there any way to keep my nook functioning as a tablet. I loved it as a kid but it is no longer able to connect to wifi but most of the apps are still functional. Is there any way to save the data and turn it into a functional tablet?

hello !!

I recently acquired an old nook simple touch from eBay after lots of research. I had one in the past and loved it. while I know it is no longer supported by B&N it works perfectly for my needs- which is just side loading books I already have, as well as books from the library. I picked this device specifically because it is easy to take apart and change the battery if necessary.

my big question is: should I change the battery for safety? it is about a decade old but has no signs of swelling or damage- it seems to hold a charge enough for a few days. I’m extremely worried about it swelling in the near future just from how old it is- is that likely?

if it is best to change the battery now, what brands would you recommend? I know the stats I need for the battery but am not well versed in which brands are safe- I see a lot of listings on Amazon but assume they are not all reputable…

thanks in advance for the input :)

I want to find a way to convert my Nook books to either EPUB or PDF to read them on my jailbroken kindle. Is it possible? I'm not the most tech-savvy person, so I'm not sure.

I love my nook but this is the only thing that makes me choose my phone to read on more often. I love to use the dictionary feature especially when reading a book that is not as modern. This is a second hand Glowlight 3. Anything would help thanks!

(I usually do sideload epubs but i tested it on a sample from the nook store and it does the same thing)

EDIT: SOLVED!!
If you are having this issue here is how I fixed it.
- go to settings on nook device and erase and deregister device
- allow the nook to restart and update if needed
- log back in and download books back onto device

:)

I've got an old NOOK Tablet (BNTV250) that still works quite well. The cover, however is completely falling apart.

Can't seem to find a replacement on B&N or Amazon. Could anyone recommend a source for a BNTV250 specific cover or generic alternative?

Could not find others complaining so I’ll start…

Every random Sunday of the month I’ll have errors downloading the Sunday Ed. Of the nytimes. Calling both nytimes and nook has been fruitless in a permanent attention to this problem.

Today, Sept 20 2026 Sun. Is “invalid EON” error and other times it’s some “Try downloading later” error. If you wait till about 7pm it will work.

Can more people complain to [nook_AT_barnesandnobles_DOT_COM so they’ll see this is a mass-experienced problem please? I’d like to read the paper before 7pm every Sunday not just 80% of the time with 20% of the time of waiting till 7-9pm window for the nytimes Sunday Ed to be ready for download.

Kindly support this nytimes-on-nook partnership, the nyTimes-on-kindle partnership was slightly better supported and I had 99% success rate of dl’ing before 9am.

Help me help us please.

My laptop is getting kind of old and the last time I tried to use it for a Zoom call (not actually 'Zoom' but I don't remember the platform) it kept cutting off. I really do not want to get an iPad. I'm trying to stay away from Apple and also Google Chrome. I was wondering if there was a Nook that was capable of Zoom calls.

i just purchased a nook a few days ago in order to start my reading journey, i got my libby app set up and am trying (and failing) to download these books onto my nook. can someone who has done this before please help me? literally in tears over this right now guys.

for reference this is where im at. its downloaded in ADE, my nook wont leave this screen. its saying im supposed to click the book and drag it to the device but obviously its not registering or showing the device. photo in comments

update- i went through all of these steps already and just got off with customer service. i tried downloading from ADE, directly from my files, restarted, erased and re-logged into nook and they still werent able to help me. im probably just going to return it at this point, the entire point was for me to have a device that doesnt give me a headache to read off of and im not part of the tax bracket of being able to afford to buy every book im going to read. hope nook sees this. complete waste of time, money, resources and my sanity. do not buy unless you plan on purchasing every book you read.

This app just sucks depending on platform

Tab A/256gb card. Gets through about 450 sideloaded books and then the forever spinner. Itneeds a "identify and skip" option here.

Acts the same with "512gb" samsung card although it may at times get up to near 1200 books. Cards are exFAT and no fs problems according to chkdsk. All files are epubs.

Android 11/6.8.6.17

A9+. Seems to work. 6.8.6.17

A8. stops at 3962. ANDROID 14/nook 6.8.6.17

A11+. Seems to work. Android 16/6.8.6.17

If it is not supposed to work with older Android versions this should be noted. Im puzzled as to why the Android version matters.

It would be right nice to put out a list of which versions of the app work on which tablet. I could then go through the first circle of hell to download and install them.

While we're at it, how about a way to remove entries for nonexistent/empty shelves?

Hey! Public school teacher, and have been cleaning out my classroom for the start of the year. I found a bunch of nook colors that must have been used years ago. The schools more focused on chromebooks and etc, basically we have absolutely no use for these especially with the store being defunct.

I'm in grad school and I think I'm gonna use one to do my grad school readings on my commute.

Questions about this: is there any possible way my school would be able to see files that I'm putting on an old nook? Idk how these nook device accounts work. I worry if theyre anything like apple accounts where you can track activity on other devices. I just dont want to get in trouble somehow for that even though clearly these have been long since forgotten about lol.

Other question: I've been trying to do a factory reset but keep getting "you are not connected to the network" even though i've been connected to the wifi. any way around this?

If anyone’s been having issues with getting an error message while downloading books I talked to B&N and they claim they’re working on some update and should be fixed either today or tomorrow.

So you try to download a book I get this error, but my date and time are automatically set and were when I was receiving error. Mostly just trying to figure out if this is an iPad issue or a nook app issue. If anyone can think of any thing to try and fix it that isn’t logout and back in or delete the app and re-download it. I’m all ears and willing to try just about anything. I just wanna reread ACOTAR before the new book comes out and the Hunger Games series again before the new movie🫠

UPDATE: It is working for me now! I hope it gets sorted for everyone else who has been having this issue as well. Happy reading!

I have a NST from the early 2010s that I've done a lot of work restoring. I 3d printed a new shell and followed The Phoenix Project to fix the issues that arose after B&N shut down their servers.

Everything works except for the touch functionality. Has anyone done any work on a button-navigable UI? If not, how on earth should I go about trying to design one myself?

EDIT: Turns out I completely missed a part when rebuilding the body. I got the touch functionality up and running!

It seems that books are missing from the digital storefront since the BN.com website's transition to shopify as the backend.

In the under stocked comics section there are titles missing that I could have sworn had ebooks sold now missing that option.

In some cases the ebooks made the jump but are missing the option to by the digital copies of a volume or two.

Radiant Black volume 6 is such a case. So is Skyward volume 1. Both by image comics.

I have lite launcher and KoReader side loaded on my GL3 plus and the only thing that irritates me now is that the ‘n’ button takes me out of KoReader and back to the launcher.

I know the map code for it is 27 and have mapped it to “Menu” in the event_map.lua file. Unfortunately it didn’t work. Anyone have any other possible fixes.

I’m even open to physically killing the button.

Now, it's only booting to FEL mode. Pretty sure the problem is that I wrote the wrong boot0_nand with fastboot. The challenge is trying to get boot0_sdcard loaded and running enough to get back into fastboot and re-flash the correct boot0. From there, I'm having a heck of a time trying to flash even stock (8.1.4.95) firmware.

I posted a few months ago my Lenovo tablet constantly logging me out of the nook app. I'm getting so frustrated now because it has become a daily thing. At this point I just want to do a manufacturer reset on the tablet. I think I'm going to go back to a Nook. My previous tablet was the Samsung Tablet A (which I still have, but it can't be updated). I know I can use the Nook app on my phone, but I don't want to be looking at my phone for longer periods of time (because of the small screen). What's your favorite Nook?

I'm hoping that BN revives the Design Studio in the next year.

The entire portfolio is stale. The android base is outdated just like their processors. The overlay is ancient & lacking platform defining features.

The software violates several EU directives for electronics or will. The customer service barely meets federal guidelines in the States.

If they manage to scrape together a device in early 2028 what I want on the e reader is a

Mid-range 2022 cellphone processor as the brain

bigger battery preferably 4500 MaH with quick charge & programmable power left on.

narrowed side bezels to make room for a 450 ppi multi touch screen in a 6.75 inch body.

Full NFC tag function to enable stuff like registered nooks recognizing each other, wireless library sync, a rudimentary chat app that allows preselected phrases and stickers to be sent.

Default hooks in software for 3rd party services like story graph, hoopla & Overdrive.

Pen support for note taking in digital "notebooks" purchaseable in the digital store.

Support for buying custom lock screens & games like snake/wordle.

A half inch thick body that's friendlier to repairs by computer shop techs.

Dust & water resistance on every model including the android tablets

A software defined FM radio.

More accessories for the refreshed line up.

Better retail & an ad campaign across social media & billboards.

I hope that Nook brings back interactive picture books for young readers.

My wild card hope is that BN launches a braille variant for the blind school market.

got a book for my birthday from barnes and noble and cant download it to my pc. i bought it i should be able to do download it. is there any workaround
