Can this nook be used in direct sun light?

I haven't had any problems with it. However, I haven't tried reading in really bright sunlight.

Certainly. I'm doing it right now as I answer your question. Great product.

Direct sun light does fine. It is when it comes in at an angle that the screen becomes hard to read

Yes you can use it outside, I take mine everywhere. Do not get the NOOK Samsung. I did and regretted turning in my NOOK color. The New Nook does not have nearly the features of the Nook Color. I was so unhappy that I had traded mine in that I went out and bought another one on line. I use the Samsung only to play games on and my Nook for reading. I love how I can keep track of my authors and books so easily on my Nook Color, not so on Samsungs new Nook.

With good direct sunlight, you should have no problems. Shady days and the charging goes slower.

Yes, I put mine on a window sill where sun comes in and it works just fine that way. Once charged full it will work indoors away from sun until the charge runs out. Great little device!

I have mine in direct light, but I believe partial light would be fine. I love mine.

Sunlight is very bright, so I think it will not work outdoors unless you use it at dusk.

No, It needs direct sunlight. Unless, you have a large window that gets 7-8 hrs of direct sun. You can always try it.

it works with visible and UV light, so it needs to be in the direct sun to give you currents close to specs. If it's cloudy, it will still work, but not give you much current. In a storage unit it will give you zero.

I found the NOOK HD + easy to use in the glare. As a reader, it performs well.

I found the visibility in sunlight much less of a problem with the tablet, but still not a perfect solution. If you use an attached keyboard it can also serve as a sunshade with a bit of imaginative maneuvering. Most of the "a.exe" programs worked fine for me, but not all. you might take the install file to best buy and try it on their demo. they kindly let me try a couple of similar demos.

Yes you can. It works real good on bright sunny days. I hardly ever use the illumination.

Thank you G. Hadzima-- Your suggestion is excellent, I think. Yes, the BN reader with Glowlight isn't that expensive and ANY light would be better. It's a shame that I can't move books from my Kindle to the Nook, but that is hardly surprising. Glad you like yours-- many people HAVE liked them and I know you are right: people are far more likely to disparage a product than report that it performed as expected. Yep, if I get one that really underperforms I'm sure I can return it. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I do appreciate it! -PAM

Hello, I used this product for indoor where there is not much sunlight. I am sorry that I cannot provide you informative detail.

uuumm... I haven't tried that. I'm not sure, maybe if it's not in the sun. Otherwise I'm not sure you could read it. The manufacturer may have that info. I love my boards! I bought 2.

for the price I think not, do not think there are too many out there that one can read in sun light the best smart phones one can not read in sun light

Yes! I have it sitting in my office and it works great under the office lighting. It's not near the sun at all. I love it.
