Description
Barnes and Noble will soon be releasing their next-generation flagship e-reader. This Nook Glowlight Plus 20233 e-reader has a giant 7.8-inch screen with 300 PPI, Bluetooth, a headphone jack and full audiobook support so that users can buy e-books and manga in the online store and audiobooks. This is the first Nook e-reader with audiobook support and is a big deal.
The overall design has rounded edges along the bezel, ensuring it will be easy to hold. There are physical page turn buttons on both the right and left sides, making it ideal for right or left-handed people. The overall colour scheme is Dark Storm (Gray), and the buttons are a darker grey. A small N button is below the screen; this acts as a home button, always bringing you back to the home screen, no matter how many sub-menus you are buried in.
The Glowlight 4 Plus features a 7.8-inch E INK E-paper display with a resolution of 1,404 x 1,872 and 300 PPI. The screen is flush with the bezel and protected by a layer of glass. It has a front-lit display and colour temperature system to provide warm and cool lighting; slider bars control the screen’s luminosity.
Underneath the hood is an Allwinner B300 1.8 GHZ quad-core processor with 2GB of LP-DDR4x RAM and 32GB of internal storage; no SD card will increase it further. You can connect to the internet to buy audiobooks and ebooks from the Barnes and Noble store with Wi-Fi: 802.11 b/g/n. There will be a separate section for audiobooks and ebooks. You can listen to audiobooks with a 3.5mm headphone jack or connect wireless headphones or earbuds via Bluetooth 5.0. A USB-C port will charge the device or transfer digital content to the e-reader. It is powered by a 2500 maH battery, which should provide about a month’s worth of reading before recharging. The dimensions are 198.36 x 146.86 x 7.77 mm and weighs 285g.
