I notice that the first one was using firmware version 1.2.1 and this one is at 1.1.5. Does anyone know if B&N messed up the fonts with the newer releases? At this point I'm turning off the WiFi unless I specifically want to download a book, because I don't want it to upgrade -- but I'm wondering if I'm being paranoid?
I went ahead an upgraded to 1.2.1 -- couldn't change line spacing on some side-loaded ePubs with version 1.1.5, but they worked well with 1.2.1 (on my Nook Simple Touch). The upgrade fixed line space issue on the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight. The quality of the fonts and screen seems identical to firmware 1.1.5, so I was just being paranoid. This Nook Simple Touch w/ Glowlight is becoming my favorite reader.
