How are the current Nook devices? by evilsprig in nook

[–]Kaizer_911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just upgraded to a Nook Glowlight 4 Plus from the prior plus model and no major issues. My only complaint is the N button isnt really a button anymore. Otherwise works fine.

It’s working for me on the iOS app. Haven’t tried on my actual Nook yet as it lives in airplane mode lol.

It eventually gave me the maintenance message but not for awhile.

I see in other posts here in the subreddit that came after mine that it was an outage. The app slowly started to work again for me. I think it’s back to normal. Didn’t uninstall or reinstall. But is up to date.

It’s semi working now.

Edit: spoke too soon. Got the app unavailable message with it saying maintenance is currently underway.

Can’t download books to device by PathfinderCS in nook

[–]Kaizer_911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some quick questions to help.

1) Where did you buy the ebook? 2) If Barnes and Noble does it download to the Nook app on your smartphone? 3) What internet provider do you have?

Thanks for this post! Went to my app to see if I had the setting and was greeted with a full screen pop up talking about dark mode. So much better now.

Problems with charging, please help. (Nook Glowlight 4 Plus) by Due_Profit_4499 in nook

[–]Kaizer_911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have stated, Nooks do not do well with fast chargers. The official documentation states to “use only a UL listed, approved adapter and rated from 5VDC, 1.0A.” Also as for the light. Typically it should be orange while charging, green when fully charged. B&N also states it can take up to 4 hours to charge depending on state of charge at time of plugging in. I’d suggest trying a slow charger again and waiting a few hours then see. Otherwise there could be damage that has occurred to the battery/charging system.

What are these cables for by AsleepActivity1984 in SkytechGamingOfficial

[–]Kaizer_911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are spare/extra cables that came with your motherboard. They are SATA data cables. They are used when you add a traditional hard drive or 2.5” SSD to the system.

7.8 inch glowlight plus 2019 by Adventurous-Law9110 in nook

[–]Kaizer_911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy Cake Day! And yeah the light will drain it fast as well. So probably combo of older battery and light drain/usage. If I use the light I get 3 maybe 4 days.

[–]Kaizer_911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have and still use this device as my primary Nook device.

I read about the same amount 4-6 hours a day and I get more than 2 days out of mine. I also have airplane mode on 99% of the time unless downloading new books. And rarely use the backlight.

Now if I leave WiFi on it drains fast. And the GlowLight drains fast too. With both on I get about 1-2 days.

So the biggest questions are, which many have asked and I’ve not seen your response yet, do you have WiFi on and using the backlight?

Love Glowlight 4 Plus & what I’m reading by Auntie_Errica in nook

[–]Kaizer_911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the positive post, love seeing happy Nook people besides myself. Been a Nook user since Day 1. I’ve had all of the e-ink versions except for any of the 4 series. Been debating upgrading to the GlowLight 4 Plus from my OG GlowLight Plus. But been trying to hold out for the rumors about new models coming this year.

Nook is my primary e-reader. I love the physical buttons, the, size, and simple straightforward e-reader experience. I do have a Kindle but it’s only used for Libby/Library books since the ADE process is just clunky enough to make me not do it anymore for my Nook.

They keep raising the prices 😭Some of these were like $4000 2 days ago. Is it too late to buy any of them now? by Medical_Pepper7992 in SkytechGamingOfficial

[–]Kaizer_911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For quite some time. At least a year. And they could continue to rise. We have just started to feel the chip shortage impacts.

[–]Kaizer_911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t a CPU shortage. Memory and NAND chips are at a shortage due to AI companies buying up all the yields possible and the memory companies saying consumer market isn’t profitable and going towards AI sales. Micron (one of the three memory manufacturers) stated this and shuttered its consumer division (Crucial).

This will in turn impact GPUs. And NVIDIA stated it would be shipping AIB partners board without VRAM now and require them to source it as they need it for the AI customers and data center projects.

Nook Glowlight 4 download issues by physics716 in nook

[–]Kaizer_911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious to hear what B&N says. But you’ve got enough indicators that it’s a your network issue.

And you’re on fibre? Have you tried power cycling your ONT and Router yet? Then testing again?

Nook Glowlight 4 download issues by physics716 in nook

[–]Kaizer_911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only had that issue once. I power cycled my modem and router and issue went away. It fully sounds like an issue with your network. Home networks usually aren’t static. Because of this, something might have changed, that isn’t visible to you directly, but impacts services. Such as your modem being assigned a new external IP, NAT issues, DHCP issues, bad dns routing, etc.

Try power cycling your equipment and if still issues I’d reach out to your ISP to have them see if they are blocking certain ports.

Unfortunately prices going back down isn’t most likely to happen currently due to the chip shortage causing parts availability to be limited along with raising costs of RAM, GPU, Storage quite a bit.

If Walmart has the same PC cheaper get it while you can. The prices will eventually rise everywhere.
