Nook Glowlight Plus has a 7.8" Screen, Will Retail for $199
![]() I don't yet have all the info on the Nook Glowlight Plus (B&N sent out the press release, but they have not updated their website), but I can tell you it is waterproof, and has 8GB of storage, a color-shifting frontlight, and also*page turn buttons. And according to the FCC paperwork, it also has a headphone jack, and was tested for Wifi and Bluetooth. It's going to be in stores next Monday.

It's funny they're reusing the Glowlight Plus name. |

Also, who submits a press release for a new product without photos? Weird.

That's a very nice price on a reader that size and it sounds as if it's loaded with all the options as well.

Seriously? The Glowlight Plus is the place to take a stand? The iPad, Microsoft Surface, Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Oasis names are used repeatedly for different products. But Glowlight Plus is where it becomes sad?

As a veteran NOOK user, yes, it makes me sad. YMMV

Would you expect anything less than a bungled marketing effort out of B&N?

Hopefully ALL of the empty space is available for sideloading from the get-go, much like the original Glowlight Plus. It was changing the partitions on the Glowlight 3 that cause the stability issues I believe. As my original Glowlight Plus is more stable and faster than my Glowlight 3. Other than that, my only realistic hopes for improved Nook software are bring back the 'Current Read' button in the top left instead of the useless 'Profile' button that's there now, and stop nagging me to turn on the Wi-Fi. I know it's off. It saves battery. If we're venturing into fantasy land, display series information on sideloaded books like Kobo does. And allow me to turn off the ads/book store recs that fill the bottom half of the home screen. |

Will be watching with interest. But unless they really improve their software as to speed and managing sideloaded books, I'm not going to open my wallet.
