Nook Touch Simple eReader - €40 [Via Littlewoods]

MurdyWurdy

Ooh, according to my tracking it arrived at the midlands hub and was loaded on a fast ways van an hour ago. Could it be on it's way to me?

No info as to where it was since the 3rd May, it must have had a little holiday over the weekend.

Mine said received at Fastway Midlands Hub at 00:00 and it was delivered early this morning. So im sure you'll get it.

Although I ordered two (in same order) and the other one is still messing around with the Middleton craic.

Anyone who ordered on Flubit had theirs dispatched yet?

I'm not feeling too hopeful that they'll actually have to stock to fulfill the orders, but fingers crossed!

FFS Mine was processed on the 30th which is before a lot of people who have gotten theirs. Littlewoods are beyond useless. I won't be shopping with them ever again :mad::mad::mad:

pissed

Sent an email to Flubit this morning and received this reply.

Good Morning,
Thanks for getting in touch. I apologise for the wait on this order, these are very popular items! I have just been in touch with the supplier to chase this up for you. There has been a slight issue with stock but they are getting much more stock tomorrow. This means your product will be shipped out tomorrow ( Thursday May 9th) and will then take 3-5 working days to deliver as standard.
I apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. If your order still does not arrive please get back in touch and we will investigate further for you.
Have a great day

PC world/Currys have the official Oliver ones for €12 at the moment.

Got mine here not impressed versus kindle, full page refresh is every 6 pages and its quite fuzzy/ghosty until the refresh. Must see if theres a fix for it.

got THIS one myself, it's $30 including priority airmail delivery, bought it because it gets really good reviews and also the US Barnes & Noballs site has a better selection I think.

You can get other types cheaper, but I thought this one was worth the little bit extra, works out about €23 delivered which is still cheaper than some places here or the UK for a decent cover.

Is the firmware on your Nook this version?

It has the exact same E Ink Pearl display that's been used in several Kindles. If it is fuzzy, maybe you have a dud.

Technically every eReader using the E Ink Pearl display needs a refresh every ~6 pages. The 2013 generation of E Ink displays will go about 25 pages without a refresh, but of course you won't find one of those in a €36 e-reader.

Seems to be heat related it was on the dash of the car its fine now its at room temperature again.

Yep thats a known issue of E Ink, ghosting gets worse at high temperatures. Although most reports ive heard are from warmer countries. Not heard of it happening here but yeah, on a dashboard in the sun would probably do it.

Its a display issue rather than specific to the Nook so it should happen with a Kindle or any device that uses the same E Ink Pearl screen.

Good review on Amazon but works out slightly cheaper to order directly. I like these types as they have a stand.

Littlewoods have taken money out of my account but still not despatched the Nook. I wonder if I should accept my flubit offer just in case.

biebiebie

They claim that they only take the payment when it's dispatched from the warehouse. Any change on your order status?

stevenmu

Have they actually taken the payment, or just put a charge/hold on the card?

A lot of companies will just put a charge/hold on your card, this basically checks with your bank that you have the funds for the transaction, and then puts a hold on that amount to ensure that the transaction can be completed later. The money is still in your account, but it is locked and does reduce the amount you have available. Then when the goods ship they actually take the money out of the account.

Incorrect! - they take payment as soon as its being "processed in the warehouse"

Not true in my case as far as I can tell, my order is at that status since last week now but no payment has been taken so far.

Soups123

Does this come with a charger. Going to order for the mother but couldnt see from the product detail on littlewoods

ShooterSF

Littlewoods has mine as processed the last couple of days. Will one of ye's pick up the box and put it in the freaking van so Ah not rushed, only picked it up given the price.

stevenmu

Just got an email from the Nook shop, mine seems to have shipped.

It comes with a USB cable which you can use to charge via the pc. I guess if you had a generic usb charger that you could plug into a socket that would work too (think they're pretty cheap to buy - I got one in the 2Euro shop recently)

Mine has been on processed for awhile, then I noticed the "Original delivery date" is the 13th Ah well, hopefully by Monday it will have some movement.

My tracking is the exact same as yours That's the thing with littlewoods, they don't seem to fulfill the orders in the order that they were made. Have been let down before when practically everyone's orders were honoured except mine for a mispriced sex and the city box set even though I would have ordered early, not to mind the many other let downs over the years:mad:

Read on a UK website that stock of the Nook Touch Simple is due in on the 17th May. Looks like those of us who have orders outstanding could potentially be waiting another two weeks or so until we get a Nook

bromley52

Picked up mine today from Asda direct via parcel motel and I love it. A bit smaller than what I expected but over all and for the price a great buy.

coffee to go

For anyone near the border - I was in Derry today and dropped into Currys on the offchance. Despite assertions from the staff that no stores in NI had any stock, there was blatantly one sitting in the storage locker under the ereader display. After some staff hunting for the locker key, I left as the happy owner of the last nook in the store. I know this is unlikely to be repeated in other stores, bit you never know, it might be worth a look.

Just noticed this on Amazon. Nook Simple Touch: £39.99 + £4.59 UK delivery. (Then add Parcel Motel.) This is the lowest I have seen it on Amazon?

(I have an order with Flubit so I am going to stick with that.)
