I love it
It looks like new. No complaints

Don’t waste your money
Don’t waste your money. I’ve been a loyal nook owner since their very first model, and they knowingly released a faulty product and would rather lose customers than make it right. Originally when I bought the device, it would crash randomly when reading books. That got resolved, mostly, after a few updates. However, the other day I left it on the charger to update since I usually leave the WiFi off since it drains battery and when I came back a few hours later it was completely stuck on a screen telling me to wait a moment because it was updating. Well, unless a moment is longer than 10 hours to B&N that was a lie. I followed all the troubleshooting steps. Held the power button both on and off the charger, left it to charge and then tried all the same steps and nothing works. Talked to support and the best they could give me is to send it in to get a discount on the latest model. THIS IS THE LATEST MODEL! Absolutely abysmal. Only reason I’ve stuck with Nook is because they have great physical page turn buttons. Their software is worse than the competitors, their battery life is worse than the competitors and their hardware is worse than them too. Others have reported this same issue and even had their replacements have the same issue. I’ve decided to jump ship to Kobo. I suggest you either do that, or decide you don’t care about physical page turn buttons and get a kindle. ... show more

Nook Reader, although it was used, appearedto be very acceptable and is a good value for the money
The product was as expected was easy to download from my old Reader and was a good value for the money

Nice ereader!
I have owned every model of Kindle since the very first one was released. I have become concerned at Jeff Bezos’s politics and am reducing my spend on his businesses. This is a decent product, it generally works well but from time to time simply locks up and has to be reset. On some books, it doesn’t save your place so you have to tag your page. But, the design is simple and lightweight. Ordering books through its ecosystem is easy, but there’s very different choices of books. I’m not yet convinced this the way to go, though. I may buy a small tablet and use that with my library’s ebook lending instead. ... show more

A great value for preventing “reading emergencies”.
I love ane reader and have enjoyed my Nooks for several years. On occasion one dies an unnatural death. I may have dropped it while soaking in the tub or some other abuse I tend to heap on my devices. At the price for these reconditioned ones I don’t panic as badly as I might, otherwise. Is the episode panic free? No. I must have something to read at any given moment. I MUST be able to read in bed before I go to sleep or in the middle of the night, if I’m awake. At the point that my previous Nook stops working, I fuss around trying to coax it to live again, I order a replacement, then wait for it to come, I have a true “reading emergency”. Thank God for Amazon Prime! It prevents full on breakdowns. The set up is easy, I don’t lose my saved books, and can pick up where I left off in just enough time to rescue the box from a coarse addicted dog who watches for deliveries, rip the box open and plug in the new one. As soon as it is charged I can get going again, and am a happy camper. Speaking of that, I have had to have an order sent to another address when I am truly camping. The transition is smooth,, with relatively low drama, and the reading emergency is over. The most recent time I ordered an extra as backup for when the inevitable happens. ... show more

Overheats
I bought this Nook for my husband since he loves to read ebooks at the beach or pool. It was a plus to find one that says it is water resistant and so far it seems to be. However, after just a few minutes in the sun, it shuts off and says that it needs to cool down. So overall, the size is great, the screen quality is great, but it isn't functional for half of the time that we need it to be. Good for indoor use. ... show more

App required for downloading from Library isn’t worth buying this device
I am beyond upset, I got this because I wanted to check ebooks out from my public library. You have to download an app in order to do that but the app is very difficult to use and has to be on a computer with Google play or the Apple App Store. Ive been troubleshooting for hours and the App Stores gives this ADE app a very poor rating. I guess I’m going to pay the extra money for a kindle and I’ll be returning this e reader. ... show more
