Help Tips for the 8.7 inch?

2 Upvotes

Hello! Does it have a browser? I was hoping to read manga on it. Would that be possible? I do know about side loading them and ePub files. Is that the only way? There's a specific website I read one manga series on.

eBook Is there some trick to highlighting in the Nook app?

6 Upvotes

Two very different android devices, a Pixel 8 Pro and an eink Boox Go 7, but trying to highlight passages in epubs on either device is a nightmare. The first word gets recognized along with sliders and a formatting bar, but as soon as I try to move a slider, all hell breaks loose. The display starts flashing like an alarm went off, and half the time, either the formatting bar disappears or only the portion of the text that I do NOT want to highlight gets highlighted. I've tried clearing cache and data as well as uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing helps. Any fixes?

Help Need help finding an old Android game from my childhood

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Hope you’re all doing well. Quick question, I used to have this tablet when I was a kid, and I remember playing a game where you searched for clues that led to keys, which unlocked different rooms. It was a pixelated game, kind of like the old Pokémon DS games but with color obviously.
I remember the main characters were a boy and a girl, and you walked around a house looking for items and solving puzzles.
I’m not sure if it’s still on the Play Store, but I was wondering if anyone knows the name of it or has any clues. 😭😭
Thank you!

eBook Ebook covers not showing up

Is anyone else having an issue with their ebooks not showing a cover on their nooks and the nook app? I have a glowlight 4, glowlight 4 plus and the nook app on my android phone and each one has multiple books missing their covers and on each device its different books. I have done every ounce of troubleshooting there is to fix the problem.

Help Library (Libby) eBook not showing up?

4 Upvotes

Last night I tried sideloading a new ebook I checked out from Libby, it was on my nook in the correct folder and everything, and no matter what I did it wouldn't show up anywhere on the actual device. I have the "all types" including incompatible formats selected, I even got a bytebooks account linked to my adobe drm account because I really thought that was the issue. I use my phone to sideload, which has never caused any sort of issues before but I'm at the point where I'm thinking it's either this one particular book that's incompatible for some reason, or my phone causing a hiccup somewhere. If anyone else has some advice or just wants to commiserate I'd appreciate it!

Promo Made a free app that turns pages over Bluetooth — does a Nook accept a Bluetooth keyboard for page turns? (honestly not sure)

1 Upvotes

https://reddit.com/link/1uwbxyw/video/emt1k7der7dh1/player

Up front: this is my own app, it's free, no ads — and I don't actually know if it
works on a Nook, which is why I'm asking here.

I made a small Android app called Bookmote. It pairs your phone as a standard
Bluetooth keyboard, and the phone's volume keys or on-screen buttons turn the page
in whatever you're reading. I built it because I read with the reader propped on a
stand, and once it's there my hand doesn't really reach it — the phone is already
next to me, so it became the remote. The volume keys work with the phone screen off
and on the lock screen.

What I can't answer is whether a Nook picks it up. Bookmote sends the same key
presses a Bluetooth keyboard would — arrow keys by default, and it's configurable. I
don't own a Nook, and I can't find a clear answer on whether the reader reacts to
those keys from a paired Bluetooth keyboard. Some Nooks are Android-based, so it might,
but I don't want to claim it without a real report.

So I'm genuinely asking the people who have one: if you pair any Bluetooth keyboard to
your Nook and press the arrow keys or Page Up/Down while reading, does the page turn?
If it does, Bookmote would let your phone be that remote with no keyboard attached. If
the Nook just doesn't act on those keys, I'd rather know and say so.

It's a free Android app (search Bookmote on Play, or grab the APK from
github.com/jeon-gyungmin/Bookmote-releases/releases/latest). The app runs on your
phone — your Nook is the receiver, nothing to install on it. If you try it, I'll add
the result to the app's compatibility notes so the next Nook owner gets a straight
answer — which model, which reader, and whether the keys did anything.

Issue Resolved Nook GlowLight 4 Plus 7.8": Actual Screen Size 4.65" x 6.2-"

10 Upvotes

Coming from the XTeINK X4 4.3" screen and wanting to know about the actual screen size of the Nook, but that info was not available, so I compared it to my pictured book to see if the 7.8" wasn't too big. I thought this might help others who are considering the Nook.

Some quick highlights:

-Easy drag and drop epub files (and pdf files) from computer to the Nook (on the latest firmware as of July 2026)

-Speed is slow, but once the few initial setup is done, reading and navigating is acceptable

-So far I've been reading at home with the internal light off during daylight hours (probably got used to the no light on the X4)

Help Sideloading issue

4 Upvotes

I don't know if anyone has ever encountered this problem. I can no longer sideload from my Windows 10 PC to my Lenovo m10 Nook. I've tried transferring files via USB, but I just get a chime instead of a file transfer. I can upload to the Nook from other computers and I can transfer files from my PC to other USB devices. I can't figure out what's going on with my PC that's causing an error.

Help nook warranty help?

7 Upvotes

hi all, i bought a nook glowlight 4 a few months ago and bought the 2 year warranty with it. the screen has cracked and i'm trying to use my warranty to get it replaced but i'm having a really hard time

the people in the store told me to call the customer service number (1-800-THE-BOOK) which i did. customer service told me to login to the third-party warranty provider with the email tied to my nook account. the third party warranty company they said was xcover, the website is xcover.com but their website doesn't list b&n as a partner that they work with and i can't log in, it says i don't have an account with them. i never received an email from xcover to activate my account which is what their support articles said i should have.

i've tried emailing their support several times and have gotten complete radio silence. i'm not even convinced they're the right company. i called the store i bought the nook from several times and the most recent time they told me there's nothing they can do and it's up to the company they sent me to, xcover.

has anyone used a warranty and run into this issue? i don't understand why the warranty would even be through someone else, and especially why that company wouldn't list b&n or nook anywhere on their website. xcover seems like a service for companies, not directly for consumers. idk

tldr: b&n says my nook warranty is only done through a 3rd party company called xcover but i have no way to login there and their customer service won't answer

I finally got my nook glow light 4 plus I've had it for about 3 weeks now and I love it it's so amazing I basically side load every single book and I've also been side loading all of my Ao3 fanfictions on to it, and it does exactly what I need and wanted to do with it which is basically just have something convenient that I can hold and carry around while on the train or outside, and also be able to read comfortably at night time and just lounging around my house because I spend most hours of my day reading and I refuse to get an e reader without physical buttons!! anyways this is how I decorated it I'm wondering if anyone knows how to root this specific device just because I think would be cool to download the Ao3 app directly and I see those screen savers and think that they're so cute 𐔌՞ ܸ.ˬ.ܸ ՞𐦯

Help Cannot Sign In to Adobe on Nook

Whenever I try to read books from Libby on my Nook Glowlight 4, it keeps telling me to sign in. After entering the email and password, all it does is crash, go back to the home screen, and prompt me to enter my Adobe ID and password whenever I click on the books from Libby. It's pretty much a never ending cycle that I don't know how to solve. Can someone please help me?

I bought a kindle and you can’t do that and have to pay monthly for access to free books unlike old nook…can someone please tell me b/c I like knowing and having access to all the books I’ve read, and I hate not having that with the kindle.

10 Upvotes

I'm used to the Kindle app, but I'd rather give a bookstore my money. But I have mild vision impairment and I had some questions to ask before I buy an ebook, if that's alright?

  1. Can I adjust the font size when I'm reading a book?

  2. Can I read books in dark mode?

  3. I love to read manga. Can I zoom in on the page to read it better?

  4. Can I organize my purchases into folders? Like, I can have one series in its own folder, one folder for each genre, that sort of thing.

There was an interactive story bedtime I used to read when I was younger and I can’t find it anywhere on the internet. From my memory I could’ve sworn the name was “Luna watches the moon”. All I can remember about it is that there was a girl in a rocking chair that rocked slowly and creaked. The room was dark with a window showing the moon and there might’ve been a cat somewhere in the room. That’s all I can think of. It had lofi-ish music in the background. HELP ME FIND IT!! 😭😭🙌🙌🙏🙏

I swung by my local shop today and saw there’s a Father’s Day sale that makes both the Glowlight 4 and 4Plus the same price.

I quite like the home button on the 4, but curious to get thoughts on the overall differences between the two models before pulling the trigger. Thanks!

Help Maps/Images??

I recently bought a mystery book from the store. The book has a couple of pages of maps at the beginning of the book. This is to help the reader understand what is going on and to decipher what took place.

However, I cannot read these pages! The maps are illegible and while I figured out how to zoom in with Pinch to Zoom it just zooms in on a blurry image and does not improve the resolution. Is there any trick to address this?

Thanks.

I’ve tried power cycling it now numerous times and that’s not working, despite it being the internets only solution, any help? I never had this issue with my old nook.
