Barnes and Noble Nook Glowlight Plus on sale for $169 Apr 30th 2020, 05:51, by Michael Kozlowski Barnes and Noble has discounted their latest generation Nook Glowlight Plus 7.8. The bookseller normally sells it for $199 and it is now available for $169. You primarily have to purchase this online, because there is less than 100 of their stores open in the United States. Over the course of the past few weeks they have closed 500 locations. The 15% discount on the Nook is a rarity, Barnes and Noble does not run the same monthly savings campaign that Amazon does. Still, the Nook 7.8 is a good buy if you live in the United States.  This device features a E Ink Carta HD 7.8 inch display with a resolution of 1404×1872 with 300 PPI.  There are 19 LED lights on the top of the bezel and project light downwards, evenly across the screen. There are 10 white LED lights and 9 orange ones. Overall, the lighting system is really polished. I noticed if you just have the normal front-light on, the screen has a bluish hue. If you engage in the color temperature system to the 30% mark, you get a glorious white screen, that is on par with the Kindle Paperwhite 4 and the Kobo Forma. The new Nook is waterproof with IPx7 certification, which allows the device to be submerged in 3ft. of water up to 30 minutes. On a general level, it will be immune to spills from tea or coffee and can be used in the bathtub. If there are water droplets on the screen, it can still be used with the manual page turn buttons, but the touchscreen tends not to work. If it completely submerged in water, again the touchscreen doesn't work, but the manual page turn keys do. Underneath the hood is a Freescale Solo Lite IMX6 1GHZ single core processor, 1 GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. When you turn it on the for the first time there is around 6.9GB available, the rest is allocated towards the Android OS. It does not have an SD card, so this will prevent people from loading in a massive collection of content. I think it is important to note that this version of the Nook does not have any restrictions on sideloaded content and the internal drive does not have more than 1 partition, you can basically sideload in as much as you want.
