2019. Barnes & Noble’s Nook e-reader returns with a larger screen
Barnes & Noble continues to release products sporadically, including the larger, improved Nook GlowLight Plus. The new reader retains the classic Nook soft-touch design, paired with a significantly larger 7.8-inch screen featuring the signature front lighting. Bulkiness has always been somewhat of a concern with the Nook and this is likely more pronounced with the increased size. It’s a trade-off for a more comfortable device and the price is quite reasonable at $199. This includes 8GB of built-in storage and a battery that lasts for weeks. The physical page buttons, which Amazon has since reintroduced, are also present. Additionally, the new Nook is waterproof, ideal for those summer reading mishaps.
