The firmware version is L2_0_07AP.

Does it need any updating? If so, how do I do it?
It shouldn't need to be updated. 1.5 is the latest software so you're good.

When I plug it into my laptop get a screen that says:

"If you want to use your NOOK and continue charging, please choose Eject or Unmount from the NOOK drive on your computer."

What does this mean? I can't getout of this screen with the nookplugged into the laptop.
You'll have to stop the USB drive that the Nook is on and then disconnect it from the computer. Once you do that, the USB screen will disappear. Don't worry, that screen always appears when the Nook is hooked up to a computer.

I downloaded some free ebooks from B&N. How do I change the font size? I can't find the option to do so.
When you have a book open, scroll to "Preferences" on the LCD screen and you'll see "Text size". Click on that and you'll be able to change the size.

I keep reading about "sideloading" but I can't figure out how to do it.
If you're buying books from B&N you don't need to sideload. If you're using Adobe Digital Editions, then register the device with ADE and then drop and drag any books from ADE onto the Nook icon in sidebar.

I have some ePub books downloaded to my laptop from the public library. How can I get them into the nook?

Thank you.
Open ADE and the register your Nook. When you open ADE, it will ask if you want to register your device. Click yes. Follow the steps I outlined above and your books should appear on your Nook.
