Same here, didn't think they were great headphones

Sorry for offtopic, but cant find this anywhere .
If it said on their website that offer valid untill 26/02 , does it mean that its valid on 26th as well , or it expires at 23.59 on 25th ?

Needed a cheap sim free phone.
Seems to be a great phone so far but has no 4G.

Motorola Moto E White €89.95.

Black version is €25 more expensive.

NOOK Simple Touch GlowLight link

This is still at €40. I got one a few weeks ago as my first ereader. Don't know how it compares to other devices but I like it. For the money its great.

People should be aware that out of the box it is effectively "locked", as you can only buy books from Barnes and Noble but they only let people in thd US&UK buy books (some people use alternate adresses and IP tricksto purchase books via their Nook website). This means that if you buy ebooks with DRM elsewhere eg. Easons website, you have to remove the DRM before manually transfering via Usb and a computer.

You can add books manually that don't have DRM.
You are locked out of borrowing library ebooks as there is no Overdrive app for the Nook Simple Touch.
There are many public domain/out of copyright books available via the Nook's store app for free but quality of these books greatly varies.

You can of course look into rooting which is apparently easy. From the best that I can tell without rooting the WiFi has no purpose in Ireland south of the border.

I am guessing Argos are selling them at this price to shift stock they probably shouldn't be selling. Great device but Caveat Emptor.

Thargor · 05-03-2015 02:04PM

Has anyone successfully rooted that Nook Glowlight? I want to turn it into a simple Aldiko reader with the minimum of fuss.

05-03-2015 02:21PM

I successfully rooted the non glowlight version so it should be the same? Very simple process and plenty of guides. I always rather regretted not getting the glowlight version. I'd like it but I just can't face setting eveything up again just for the advantage of a rather mediocre backlight.

Thargor · 05-03-2015 02:29PM

Thanks, yeah it seems all the ST tutorials have been updated to do the Glowlight aswell. Can you get rid of all the Barnes and Nobel crap and just have it as a simple reader like Aldiko or Moon+ or Android? Thats what Im most interested in...

05-03-2015 02:42PM

You can install a launcher and you'll never even know it was from B&N...I haven't used mine in a while but I did spend some time trying out different things. It's basically a low horsepower e-ink android tablet now.

Thargor · 05-03-2015 02:44PM

Excellent picking one up in Dun Laoighre tonight, thanks.

You're welcome...hope you're happy with it! It just occurred to me that I remember something about making a backup when rooting my NST. I wonder could I do a backup of my bog standard NST and restore it to the glowlight (after rooting the glowlight of course!)...anybody?

:edit: oops forgot I was in the Argos thread!! Sorry everyone!

Bought this glowlight a few weeks ago and managed to successfully root it, never having done it before.. . . I also side loaded a kindle app and have loaded up the books from there. Although my 8 year old has now taken control of it. Thanks op

Seen this yesterday on hukd. Very tempted! Yes it is a bit of a gimmick but its gets great reviews and I do love beans on toast!

the_pod · 06-03-2015 02:26PM

I have one and find it great for boiled eggs. The toaster is a little shallow but works fine. I can't comment on the beans, don't eat them.
I probably use it more for eggs than toast to be honest.
