Could someone else confirm for me if the recent version of Cool Reader from the market (3.1.2-34) has operational partial refresh options on version 1.2.1 of the Nook Simple Touch firmware? With 1.1.x, the partial refresh options worked fine on my original NST, but after updating to 1.2.0 on it, those options didn't work in CR anymore and gave me full screen blanking on each page turn. I ended up going back to 1.1on it. I've since picked up a NST glowlight (not the newest white one) which has 1.2.x software, and even with the most recent CR version that seems to have the NST specific options in the configuration, I still get full screen blanking on each page turn no matter which of the 3 options I select. I've seen in other threads and various places where people are reporting it works on their NSTG devices. I've tried a copy from the Android market and from the Sourceforge page as well with no luck. The NST specific options are there, but don't change anything. I eventually found a version of FBReader which does address the changes to the eInk handling in 1.2.x, but I don't know for sure if any of those updates were ported to CR as they were a long time ago (in 3.0.49 or so I think).
