![]() There was an awkward silence, and then she said she would make an exception for me, since I had come to the store but that she would be "flagging" this transaction. The young lady there, while not being blatantly rude told me that the product wasn't defective and that she had seen this before and these "spots" are normal and that this is not something they normally take back a device for, because I just made this Nook "unsellable". Even tho I didn't plan to use this as often in lowlight situations, there will be times that I can't put a book down, and will be using it, plus I wondered if this spot could grow bigger, so the next morning I took it to the store to ask for an exchange. It was right in the center and when the glowlight was turned up, was extremely distracting. It wasn't actually a hole but some sort of spot that seemed to not have the same finish of the rest of the screen. When I got the first nook home and set it up, I noticed a very small little "hole" that allowed much more light thru. The Nook during morning and daytime reading, and the Kindle before bed. ![]() Reading in sunny situations has been exceptional on the Nook, and I like that I don't have to worry about a little water spray hitting the device anymore.I also own a kindle Voyage that I adore and prefer it's lighting in low light situations. However, the main reason I bought this device, is for reading when boating, (waterproof)and haven't needed the glow light for that. I don't like the bluish tint and it does have shadows alone the very top of the screen. I can't say that I love the glow light part of this Nook. I have a Mac and had to download Android file transfer app first to allow me to get the books onto my Nook. While it isn't as easy as borrowing a Kindle ebook, it is still pretty easy. I borrow lots of library books thru overdrive. Also, the covers don't show up on the new one! Just a rectangle with the title inside as text.Īny ideas on how to make the new Glowlight Plus behave like the old Simple Touch Glowlight? Does B&N have any plans to bring back the Simple Touch Glowlight? With the new Glowlight, while I *can* read them, the behavior is just like the original Nook (the one with 3G): they not only have to be placed into "files" or "documents" folders, but they only show up if I navigate to the "my files" section of the library and not in "all". The old Simple Glowlight let me just add the epubs and they displayed with the rest of my library. I have a number of (DRM-free) epubs in my calibre library that I would like to be able to read on the Nook. The old glowlight let me just long press the NOOK button and the light turned on. Hopefully, someone can help point me to a workaround.ġ. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion.I just got a new Glowlight (after losing my Simple Glowlight) and there are a few things that really bug me about it. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID. This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac). ![]() Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.Ī common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused. ![]() Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state. Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state. Or if anyone else has ADE you could see if your Glowlight shows up on it. If you have any friends with Glowlights you could see if theirs shows up on your ADE, You could try different USB cables but again as it shows up as a drive it seems unlikely that will help. Looking on the web I can't see any evidence that the Nooks has a similar requirement,īut as the symptons are the same it might be worth double-checking your documentation just in case. Like yours, without that it will show up as a mounted drive, but not as an ADE device. My Sony (PRS-350) requires Sony software installed on the PC before ADE will recognize it. I don't see any reason why that should be necessary to make it show up in ADE, but I suppose it could be. I can't really think of anything else here so a few slightly random thoughts that may trigger something. Try deauthorizing and reauthorizing ADE just in case. I am not sure whether devices show up in ADE if ADE isn't properly registered.
