![]() B&N’s software development seems practically nonexistent these days. The Nook Glowlight Plus runs the same software as the Glowlight 3. The one difference is the Glowlight Plus has 1GB of RAM, twice as much as the Glowlight 3. The 1GHz processor is the same as the Glowlight 3, and so is the 8GB of storage space. The frontlight is a little blotchy along the top edge, but the color adjustment is a nice feature for those that like to have the option. Like the Glowlight 3, the Plus model has a frontlight with cool and warm colors. The new 7.8-inch Nook has a capacitive touchscreen instead of an infrared touchscreen like the Nook Glowlight 3, so text isn’t quite as sharp and clear but it still has the same 300 ppi so it’s not a big difference and the screen isn’t indented as far so you don’t get the shadows along the edges. The Glowlight Plus adds a 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth for audio, but presently they’re only for listening to B&N podcasts so don’t expect to listen to music. The power button is located on the top edge and there’s a micro USB port on the bottom edge. It has the same soft rubbery coating covering the front and back, with two page buttons on each side of the screen and an “n” Nook button below the screen that functions as a home button (it can also toggle the frontlight on and off with a long press). It has a similar design, albeit with slightly narrower bezels. The Nook Glowlight Plus looks a lot like the Glowlight 3. ![]() ![]() The 7.8-inch Nook Glowlight Plus has a retail price of $199, with 10% off for B&N members. It’s really more of a Glowlight 3 Plus because it’s basically just a larger version of the 6-inch Nook Glowlight 3 that was released back in 2017.ī&N did add waterproofing to the Glowlight Plus, along with Bluetooth and a headphone jack, but the software is the same as the Glowlight 3, which B&N still sells for $119. ![]()
