NOOK Going Manual Charging
This is a "Gripe" pure and simple. Since Barnes & Noble decided to buy products whose USB micro port is totally unreinforced - the 2 pinpoint solder connections broke and it is unrepairable. How smal...

Got GNUS for you all.
A Nook Glo Light costs 130 dollars OK?
And cycled. A Nook battery lasts ME about 2 years. Left plugged in this battery has gone FOUR YEARS. According to the symbol on the screen the charger SHUTS OFF and starts automatically.
Same for my Samsung Galaxy 4. It starts and stops charging automatically.
Unless of course I ended up with a box of experimental miracle gizmos.
A Nook or Kindle is actually "worth" maybe twenty dollars. E Ink license is probably pricey. The main Nook processor is TI and costs four dollars RETAIL.
And after a week unhooked I am forced to not read because the @#$%&!'s are too stupid to put the USB micro connection on top?
Or maybe some of you are COMMENTING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DO NOT OWN NOR HAVE EVER TOUCHED? When I pay a goddamned hundred thirty dollars for a piece of snot it entitles me to complain. Some of you appear to be satisfied with garbage.
The replacement NOOK gets disassembled and the micro port gets anchored with JB Weld. Then dosed with DeOxit.
If I was born forty years later I could have produced garbage reman alternators and my frontal lobotomized* customers would have given a cross-eyed grin and said "Ooooooo that's OK! I like the pretty chrome fan you use".
