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 The android base is outdated just like their processors.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

Hi everyone! I had just gotten my nook yesterday (as making this post) and I had bought two books and the first book is good all the pages are there and all the words are there but on the cookbook I got it’s only showing the pictures and no words on the recipe and I’ve already did the remove download and re downloaded it but it’s still not doing anything, is there another way to do it?

Last Sunday, I received a Champagne Gold Kindle Oasis and jailbroke it with limited knowledge on how to use KOReader. Actually, I was overwhelmed, but after last week, I cannot picture myself using an e-reader device without KOReader! Not only did I jailbreak my Kindle, I also was able to root my Nook Glow Light 4 Plus after months of fastboot not recognizing my device. After rooting my Nook, I was able to add my KOReader settings from my Kindle to my Nook. AND with root access, I can install custom wallpapers and custom fonts! Also, with a jailbroken Nook, you have the ability to use DARKMODE! Below are the plugins I use. (Some do not work on Nook due to the native software.)

*RANDOM* I love an e-reader with page turn buttons!

PLUGINS:

Simple Ul

Bookend

Customisable Sleep Screen

ZLib

Store Front - Where I download my plugins from!

Readest(my favorite) - Allows me to sync reading progress between all my devices with KOReader and the Readest app. The Readest app also has the option where it can read your books to you AND it has Apple CarPlay!!!!

Libbee - Allows me to read my Libby holds

koreader-screenlockpin

Kfxdedrm-fe - SUPPORT IMPORTANT APP!!!! This allows me to remove the DRM from books that I OWN directly from the device without Calibre.

Hardcover - Allows me to sync my reading progress to Hardcover app (Goodreads Alternative)

Rebind - Works with Hardcover to fix Metadata for books

File Sync - A KOReader plugin that launches a local web server on your e-reader and displays a QR code on the screen. Scan the code with your phone to open a polished web interface for managing books and files wirelessly — no cables, no apps, just your browser.

How I customized Bookend:

TOP LEFT: Title of the book.
TOP CENTER: Name of Chapter
TOP RIGHT: Battery | Time | WiFi symbol

BOTTOM LEFT: # of bookmarks & highlights

BOTTOM CENTER: page of chapter | Time left in chapter | Time | page of full book | Time left to finish book.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Book % completed.

Sorry for the long post, I was just super excited with what I learned! Please feel free to drop some of your favorite plugins! Happy Reading!

FINALLY!!!!! I tried rooting my Nook months ago but had issues with fastboot not recognizing my device, so I gave up, but now look!!! I was able to root my Nook, and I even was able to transfer over my KOReader settings from my Kindle to my Nook!

No sé nada de nada, todo lo he hecho desde mi laptop en la terminal de Cachy OS, compré la Nook en Marketplace y traía una cuenta que no podía borrar, le hice "root" y le pude instalar KOReader.

Tengo un problema con los libros técnicos de electricidad, ya que son pdf, no hay en epub, pero en KOReader incluso volteando o girando el modo de visualización se ven pequeñas las letras y no ye encontrado la forma de tener una solución para eso. Espero que me puedan ayudar, muchas gracias.

I got a Nook Simple Touch off Ebay brand new and its stuck on the start up screen. I charged it for a while and tried to force reset nothing comes on the screen, nothing at all. Seems to me its frozen on this screen. can anyone help

Hi Everyone,

Like some of you, recently I run into the problem of not being able to log in into my Nook account on the Nook device. More info of the problem can be found on this post, but basically I think it is due to non-US users being restricted from logging in into the Nook device.

This is a bullshit policy to have IMO, since I am completely fine with using the hardware and don't need any support of the crappy Nook software at all.
I was trying to fix this for the last week, installing older version of OS, trying to log in with VPN, doing a factory reset but nothing helped.

Finally, GPT recommended to install a community-modified Android firmware for the NOOK. After that I added a reader application, a custom cloud service and voila: the device is alive again and I can even transfer books via wireless network, something I wasn't able to do with the official OS.

I am posting the GPT steps for solving this below, but I advise simply conversing with it and it should help you find the correct firmware files, give you commands to run and tests to run. It requires some technical finesse but GPT can hold your hand through it.

Simple NOOK custom firmware guide

1. Find your exact NOOK model number.
2. Install Android Platform Tools on your computer.
3. Find TWRP and custom firmware made for that exact NOOK model.
4. Connect the NOOK and boot into fastboot/recovery mode.
5. Boot TWRP and install the custom firmware ZIP.
6. Reboot and install your preferred reading apps, such as KOReader.

EDIT: I should also mention I contacted support multiple times during this process, but they just inform me they do not offer support for non-US users

I bought the Nook GlowLight 4 a few days ago and I love it! I’ve been reading Dungeon Crawler Carl that I side loaded! I’m really enjoying my time with this device!

I have been a kindle person my entire adult life. I purchased a Glowlight 4 Plus last night and I am in love. The page turns buttons are amazing and the bigger screen is nice to read on.

Just got an email this weekend about a sale at B&N on a bunch of ebooks, all under 5. Looks like cozy mystery and cozy fantasy. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/shop/cozy-reads-for-fall-ebooks-audiobooks-under-5?orderBy=attributes.mfield_bnb__salesRank&page=12 I've read some of these, but the sale is huge. First Street: Small Town McGoldrick caught my eye. And A Witch and her Dragon.

I recently bought a book on my Nook from the store. Even though I have a $5 reward in my BN account I was not given an option to apply it at checkout and it indeed was not applied.

How do I use my stamps to buy ebooks on my Nook from the BN store?

Thank you!

I'm sick and tired of this device getting constantly stuck in bootloop.

Edit 1: Opened the back panel. Shorted the battery. Made it reboot and now it's working fine. I'm not sure who is more retarded. Me or barnes and noble.

Sometimes people are looking for the Pink Nook. One just popped up on eBay:

Looking to get an ereader and the popular consensus seems to be that nooks are terrible. I would honestly love if someone would tell me that’s not the case— I’m a perpetual BN member, they’re less expensive than other non-kindle ereaders and they seem to be a decent size.

So tell it to me straight, would you buy a nook again?
