7.8" Nook Glowlight Plus Review - 2019 Nook

Like I was saying earlier you do have the option to view your highlights and your bookmarks from here Again, they aren't exportable at all, but you ca...

How is the 4.3 from AliExpress? Thinking of ordering it

Took two hours to set up, 1 hour on the phone with Nook help line and another hour with a librarian to actually get signed up and my books transferred. Slow finding the book in the memory (hope it gets faster with use). Now I have to figure out how to download library books. Also, seems like I have ...
