So which Kobo has an amber nighttime reading light?
Thanks for the pointer to Chapters/Indigo in Canada . |

I have a Kobo and several Nooks and each has its strengths and weaknesses. Neither Nook or Kobo is 'the perfect reader' (and neither is Kindle, though I have less experience with them than the other two). It all just depends on what features matter to you. |

I just received a Nook Glowlight 3. I also just got a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8 inch. I have had a kindle Fire for years. It has become slightly unreliable and requires occasional rebooting.
I have succeeded in sideloading one PDF file to my Nook. It is in my library. But I cannot create any shelves or 'stuff". The dialog is there to name a new shelf, but the 'save' button never appears. The dropdown menu for books, files, shelves, etc. is there. Books shows B&N content. There are no shelves. My Files shows my one PDF download. My dark suspicion? At some point, B&N just disabled the ability to save new shelves without changing any other menus or documentation. Last edited by bobgh; 01-28-2021 at 12:54 PM. Reason: correction |

And I was able to delete the shelves without issue (though the Glowlight 3 wanted to sync after that was done as well — though it worked without syncing). At any rate, it might be worth looking into. I'm using App Version 52.0.77/5.2.4.27. I'll see if I can try a PDF. Also tested this on the Glowlight Plus (6", 2015) and it worked without issue. (Didn't have to sync.) Strangely enough the Glowlight Plus now has slightly higher numbered firmware — 52.0.78/5.2.4.27. Both it and the Glowlight 3 are up to date. I should mention also... once the Shelf has been created long press works for the Shelf, but you still have to go to list view to add books. EDIT: I was able to move a PDF file to the Glowlight Plus (2015) and create a Shelf for it. — Just realized something. For some reason, on this specific computer, Calibre doesn't recognize the Nooks, so I have to move files "by hand" with the File Manager. Is it possible that there's something in the Calibre to Nook sync that is gumming up the works? Last edited by rcentros; 02-08-2021 at 04:32 PM. |
