You are missing the point. Refurbished nooks have been reported with 1.4, 1.4.1, and 1.4.3 firmware. None of these can be considered the "current" firmware as each appears to be associated with specific hardware. Just recently, the assumption was that anything newer than 1.4 was always on hardware that used the newer non-socketed internal chip. This is not the case, which causes the problem we are talking about.
