Hi, nook user,
To the best of my knowledge, Software ver. 1.2.1 is the final (last) version for the Nook Simple Touch (model # BNRV300). If I'm wrong, I hope that one of the experts will correct me ...

Edit: I double-checked by going to B&N's Nook Support website. The only software update listed is ver. 1.2.1:

Nook Simple Touch : Software Updates.'' >
I purchased my Nook ST around Nov. 2011, and can only recall one software update during the time I've had the unit. (There is a brick-and-mortar B&N store nearby, and because we only recently set up WiFi at home, I'd occasionally go to B&N to use their in-store WiFi. During one of those sessions, the unit was updated when I connected to the in-store network ... I don't remember the exact date, or how much prompting the reader gave me before being updated).
As for your observation about the battery life, that also sounds normal to me. Your battery will last longer if you leave the WiFi disabled, obviously. (I rarely use the WiFi on my unit, as I seldom purchase books from B&N's online store. 99% of my eBooks are sideloaded from Project Gutenberg).
