Some of my German blog readers thankfully do the work and add the available updates in comments to the article Tip: Tipp: Updates für Windows Vista nach Supportende (or in other posts). Here is the list of update packages for Windows Vista from February 2018.
The Barnes & Noble Nook GlowLight 4e ($119.99) is the most affordable mainstream ebook reader with physical page-turn buttons. It's also quite comfortable to hold, though its inconsistent front light and non-waterproof build curtail its appeal. Its limited format support doesn't help matters, either. But we're still glad that Barnes & Noble continues to update its ebook reader lineup for those faithful to the brick-and-mortar book chain. For everyone else, however, the Editors' Choice-winning Amazon Kindle Paperwhite ($139.99) remains a better option because of its more durable design and reading features.
In the US, there are three main ebook reader companies: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. Which route you should go generally depends on where you buy books. First off, you must understand that Amazon's readers don't natively support other stores' books and other readers don't natively support Amazon's books. For every other format type and public library collections, Kobo is the best option.
If you're starting from scratch, the Nook offers nice physical buttons and a reassuring connection to brick-and-mortar Barnes & Noble bookstores. That association means you get free Wi-Fi at Barnes & Noble stores, as well as at AT&T-branded hotspots. And if you have trouble with your Nook, you can bring it to a physical store for help. Kobo has a similar arrangement with Chapters and Indigo stores in Canada, but nothing equivalent in the US. Meanwhile, Amazon closed all its bookstores earlier in 2022. Aside from that connection, however, Nooks can't quite compete with other ebook readers' hardware quality and software features.
A 6-inch screen size is still standard for affordable ebook readers, but more premium models are now shifting to 7-inch panels. In practice, the difference is reasonably noticeable: The Nook GlowLight 4e shows 17 lines of Ted Chiang's "Stories of Your Life and Others" per screen, whereas the 7-inch Kindle Paperwhite displays 21 lines of Peng Shepherd's "The Cartographers" at about the same font size.
The front of the GlowLight 4e features a relatively low count of LED front lights (B&N doesn't specify a number.) We noticed slightly lighter and darker patches at the top of the screen, with more even lighting farther down. That's par for the course with lower-cost ebook readers. You can set the brightness level for the LEDs, but can't change their color like you can on some competing models.
The Nook supports books in EPUB and PDF format only. But if you don't want to purchase them through the store, you can sideload EPUBs and PDFs via USB cable. One method is to use Adobe Digital Editions to (somewhat clunkily) download and transfer books from public libraries onto your device. Kobo devices make it easier to read more types of formats, including CBR, CBZ, HTML, RTF, and text. Kobo ebook readers also integrate more easily with public library systems and can download books wirelessly via Dropbox.
The reading experience isn't always smooth, however. The Nook crashed at one point in testing and required a reset. Twice, the device brought us to an earlier page than I'd left it at, too. And, although graphical PDFs support panning and pinch-to-zoom gestures, we noted considerable lag with the experience. That last point is common across low-cost ebook readers, however.
We appreciate that Barnes & Noble continues to make ebook readers for people who have stuck with the platform. And if all you want is a low-cost, lightweight reading device with physical buttons, the Nook GlowLight 4e won't disappoint. But for the same amount of money, the Kobo Clara HD ($119.99) offers more format options, better public library support, a color-changing front light, and a highe
