Nook eReader with GlowLight

Hey Nook users,

I tried ordering from B&N today the new Nook with GlowLight but it states that no shipping service to Singapore is available. Are there any alternatives?

Hi,

I have a 1st gen Nook with 3G. Notices that the E ink is fading at the edges. It's so bad that I can't even read the words. Anyone has this problem? Any idea how to fix it? I reverted to factory setting but it did not solve the problem. Thanks.

There's no direct shipping from BN to Singapore. What you can do is sign up for an account under Borderlinx or Comgateway. Then, you will be given a U.S. address and ship your Nook to this address. When the items have reached Borderlinx/Comgateway, then you'll be able to ship them back to Singapore.

u need to have a account with b&n then after logged in and purchase the ebook it will be 'delivered' to your nook within seconds.

but will there be issue with the geological location? or cc problem?

but will there be issue with the geological location? or cc problem?

yr address needs to be a US address which u can get from vpost or comgateway. i rem the cc i used is posb everyday card.

 

[nelson7lim]

so all i have to do is put a us address i get from comgateway? will there be any billing address to fill up? if there is, do i put the us address? or my local one?

EDIT: do i have to use a vpn or something?

yes u will need to fill up the address which will be yr US address. I tried my posb everyday card to purchase before which is many many years ago so i dunno if b&n is smarter now to kick out non-US cc.

 

[nelson7lim]

okay. i will give it a try. thank a lot!

Day 2. Great.

Have been reading quite a bit. In fact, the Nook encourages me to read more. It's lightweight, compact, pages are easy to retrieve.

Was reading in bed last night. Glowlight works great even at about 10% brightness. The top edge where the leds are does not distract much. Most of the time I didn't even realise it's there.

Got a fold-style cover for the Nook. This is not optimised for lefties, as the left page turn buttons situate themselves above the spine of the cover. Thus, when you press those buttons, the cover folds further before the buttons get hit, giving a 'squishy' feedback. If you're right-handed, single-handed use is a breeze. Otherwise, you should consider getting a slip cover instead.

In addition, I just found out it doubles as a great piano score display (especially to-go). It's a little small (a iPad or any 10-inch table would probably best substitute paper scores), but most scores will display fine. And with the static screen not consuming any power, and the possibility to set the time-out duration to 1 hour, its a very viable solution.
