I just bought this ereader for similar reasons to yours! Also I hate Amazon 😭 I understand it’s “cheaper” but that’s only because they’re playing dirty by selling lower than the actual price so BN and other bookstores can’t compete and get them to close their doors so they can have a book monopoly. And it’s working. ;(( I wish more people were aware of that.
I have a kindle paperwhite signature and I love it BUT I’m happy that you love this and that you feel like it was worth what you spent! Every ereader has its faults and flaws and ultimately you should have the thing you prefer most or else you won’t want to use it at all! That is also a super pretty color!
Nook for the win! I have the Glowlight plus and it’s still to this day my favorite e reader. It’s not perfect but it’s definitely underrated. Thank you for sharing!
I’m excited that you are excited. Would love to see a video on the Nook platform (Barnes & Noble). I am just now exploring eReaders and looking at getting my first. Thanks for sharing.
lol wow the comments are having none of the kindle hate 😆 yours is so cute!! I love my kobo, I don’t mind the black border, but this one is definitely way cuter
my kindle lasts multiple weeks (4-7) on a charge even with wifi on. also, all the menus that let you change how the book looks on the nook also exist on the kindle
Im an e-reader hoarder. Lol. I have multiple nooks and Kindles. I have one of the first glowlights that is waterproof and rosegold. I have been using Kindle more over the past few years. I love the ease of borrowing from my library or using kindle unlimited. But after watching your video i had to pull out my nook because I do miss it. Its definitely prettier than Kindles in my opinion ❤❤
I'm a Nook superfan lol and Im glad you made this video! I had the first Nook back in 2011(?) that was a paperwhite before the paperwhite. Then I got the Nook HD and HD 7 (my current one). The battery life has never been great but I think thats an ereader thing. The lag is interesting but hopefully not a huge issue. Amazon really edged out Barnes & Nobles and put the ereader on the map. Im loyal to the Nook so I have no comparisons and clearly very biased lol. Im glad you like!
I have a Kindle Oasis , Nook Simple Touch and this Nook Glowlight 4 pink edition also. I use my Pink Nook almost always over the other two. The size and the lightness of the device is great for long reading sessions ❤
I've always had a Kindle because of the accessibility of the Kindle library regardless of where I am. Not sure if it's still the same but the Nook used to require you to have a US address for the books from B&N and since I'm rarely there, I opted for the Kindle.
Cute pink Nook GlowLight 4! Note: The limited edition Pearl Pink is only available in the standard 4 model. The "4e" is the lower-end model that doesn't have Night Mode warm light and only has 8 GB. You have a 4. I like Nook because I can drag and drop EPUBs easily and read ebooks for an hour for free inside the BN physical store. Oh, also you shouldn't need wi-fi for the dictionary. Try it out 😉
been on the hunt for an ereader bc i wanted to read more. went from sony prs, to kindle, to kobo, boox, etc, but the price was killing me. kept looking and found a listing for a nook color, led me to a simple touch, and now i am here LOL i actually found a listing for the 4e for like under 50 and i'm so shocked right now! gonna have to cop it before anyone else does 😭
I've only ever owned a Nook. It no longer updates but I still have it. I haven't bought another e-reader because I tend to read physical books. I am considering giving it another go, and keep seeing how pretty they are. I am tempted to get this!!!
Kobo ftw! 😌 I have the Kobo Libra in white. It's perfect and also water resistent so bringing it to the beach or to a spa is not a problem. Love it and also the battery life lasts forever! And since I'm not in the US, Kobo is a better brand because you can actually loan books from the library. And I feel you with the aesthetic, I bought a "sleepcover" (so when you close it the e-reader goes to sleep automatically) and I've put stickers with cats etc on it so just a tip if you want to make it even more personalized :3 But why don't you want to see the book cover in the front? I really like it on mine anyways
I got the newer Nook. The one that's actually a tablet. Since I turn my off the battery does last a couple of days longer. This is all part of my desire to leave Amazon behind. Especially after what they did to that amazon worker that was shot in that terror attack. My brother totally supports my choice in getting a Nook.
ohhh the physical buttons are selling me. Years ago I think the older Kindles used to have buttons to turn the pages, and that was my jam. I got the Paperwhite recently and I hate having to touch the screen in the right place to turn the page 😂 it's the little things
I wish kindle would bring back page turn buttons like this nook. I have arthritis in my hands and I have to keep stretching and moving my hands to turn the page. Buttons should be an option. Dee
Nice review. I totally get that the aesthetic of the Nook just gives a much better experience for you. I am sticking to Amazon because it's the big industry leader but I don't like the boring black either. Most of my gadgets are boring black. It makes them so hard to find.
I used to have a Nook but I ended up having it because when I did have it, it was so limited to Barnes and Noble, you had to have a US address and you can't really access the store which made me upset because manually adding everything I read was a little harder cause I was young haha 😂 I have a kindle now but I truly considered this one because of the buttons alone 😭😭
Interesting! It’s super cute but the basic kindle has better battery and response than this and it’s almost half the cost 😮 but not gonna lie the white and pink is damn adorbs
i dont think ive ever heard of this ereader, so glad i watched it, you covered all the important info!! it looks soooo pretty too love the lightness of the pink and the page turn buttons. the interface looks so much like kindle's even most of the features so i was pretty surprised abt that. it's def more aesthetically pleasing than the kindle though kasi the kindle has such huge bezels it's so ugly omg though i only got it for like 5.7k so i just have to deal with it LOL - the touchscreen lag is common for all ereaders im pretty sure !! it's not as smooth as a smartphone talaga, you'll def get used to it naman after sometime - my kindle usually lasts at least a week to two weeks (depending on how many hours i read daily) even with wifi on, maybe you can try turning airplane mode on if yours has it to see if it'll help with the battery life (it preserves mine a lot and can make it last up to a month) - the margins, line spacing, fonts, justification, etc. settings are also available in kindle :) i just have a few questions though, - does it sync to your goodreads acc? like your highlights and annotations and stuff - can you import your books to it wirelessly? or wired lang pwede :O for kindle we can just send the file to our kindle's email and it'll be imported na
Very cute lookin' Nook 😆I wish more e-readers had cuter colors and patterns. About the battery issue, eReaders tend to use up battery each time it writes something new to the screen. So things like having a clock, turning a page, etc will use up battery. If you read fast or all day, then it'll probably use up a lot of battery as opposed to leaving it alone for weeks. And as you've been told, having back/front light on too high, wifi, and bluetooth will also use up battery.
@@AmieDeLalla Yaaas I've seen them, that's all I get recommended nowadays 🤣and unboxing Kindle videos even though I've had mine for years 🤣and I agree, very cute. But still, would be nice to have a pastel coloured Kindle or a fancy patterned Paperwhite. The Kobo Clara 2e backing is dark blue and has a nice ocean-y wavy texture which I love so much. They could have artists featuring their work on a "special" or "limited" edition much like the Hobonichi, etc. 😱There's so much real estate back there 😆 Personally, I don't want to decorate my devices. For me, it's too much effort thinking about what to put on them. Right now, both my Kobo and Kindle are in those flip cases. It's a bit thicc but I'm happy for the sleep/wake function so I don't have to struggle finding the buttons 😂
My Kindle lasts for 6 weeks before I need to charge it. Bear in mind, its always in airplane mode with wifi turned off ( I mean theres no reason to keep the wifi on in the first place). Sana you went for Kindle Basic but thats just me😅
I've had the nook Simple Touch. From 2011. Really the only problem is it doesn't have a built in light and the shop shut down recently. The rubber has severely expired making it unpleasant to hold.
Hi! I have an old model of nook, it's the nook color tablet. What time zone did you pick for Philippines? It keeps saying no network for some reasons, so I figured it must be because of the timezone
I would just suck it up and buy a kindle. The battery life on kindles are soo much better. I don’t have any issues with mine whatsoever. I live in Uk so we don’t have the white kindles. Only black and denim

It kinda looks exactly like kindle the same home page. I have a kindle oasis but I wish Apple would come out with an E-reader not a small iPad.
I would RUN to an apple e reader 😂

I agree :) Many tend to forget that it's more of a preference thing than anything.

Ive seen this video 5 times already, you convinced me to get the pink nook and I cant wait. 😄
omg i hope you love it!
@@altheaonpaper UPDATE: She arrived and I love her!! She's so delicate and beautiful ❤️
I forgot all about the Glowlight pink (limited edition) and it’s now sold out 😢 hopefully they’ll restock soon!
I got a kindle recently. Charged it last saturday, it's been exactly a week later and the battery it's at 70% 😁

I have a Nook as well and love that the page turner buttons are on both sides 😊

Oh but then again you don’t get buttons on the kindle nor kindle paper white
Thank you for sharing this video. My boyfriend just got me the nook for my birthday 🥰
The nook Lenovo is the same price as the nook glow light ?! And I can’t decide
the nook color was my firs ever eReader foreverrrrr ago and then i ended up losing it in a move
nooo that's so sad 😭

You might want to look up videos of people buying clear cases and decorating them. They’re super cute.

I have the pink Nook too and love it. I did recently buy the Agave Green paperwhite and love that too
omg just looked up the agave green now and it looks so pretty!!
I recently came across it as I’ve been browsing for e readers and this one stood out to me too 😍
When searching a book by category how do I access the screen showing price low to high or a to z?
My Kindle lasts for 6 weeks before I need to charge it. Bear in mind, its always in airplane mode with wifi turned off ( I mean theres no reason to keep the wifi on in the first place). Sana you went for Kindle Basic but thats just me😅
Im not sure if you realized but you don't need to keep the light on all the time. If you're in daylight, TURN IT OFF!

Hi! I have an old model of nook, it's the nook color tablet. What time zone did you pick for Philippines? It keeps saying no network for some reasons, so I figured it must be because of the timezone
hiii!! as far as i know the nook doesn't have the PH time zone so i just chose the US one haha.
Im looking to buy an e-reader but I'm also hesitant on buying a Kindle so i really appreciate this video
Definitely recommend kindle ❤
I would just suck it up and buy a kindle. The battery life on kindles are soo much better. I don’t have any issues with mine whatsoever. I live in Uk so we don’t have the white kindles. Only black and denim
My Kindle’s battery needs recharging at least 4 weeks.
have the link of this nook website?
hi! you can find it on the Barnes & Noble website :DD
@@altheaonpaper Thank you... when did you buy it and price please?
@@jobaydaakteromee did you watch the video?
Paano po kau mag download sa books sa laptop? And paano transfer po yun na download niyo sa book?
hi! i just search for an epub of the book online, then connect the nook to my laptop using the USB it comes with to transfer the file :))
I support anyone who buys an ereader that isn't from amazon lol. I'm a Kobo girl myself
