Looking at it that way, the partitioned memory for side-loading roughly doubled from the Simple Touch to the Glowlight, and again from the Glowlight (white, not plus) to the Glowlight 3. The Glowlight Plus was a different animal.

But it's not like B&N has separate lines of readers, the way Amazon and Kobo do. They have their current Nook e-reader and that is it.
The Nook ST had an SD card slot, so internal memory didn't matter. The Glowlight was an error because of the partitioned memory. The Glowlight Plus seemed to show they learned their lesson. The Glowlight 3...?
As for the firmware, I believe it's the all the same Nook firmware and they just keep updating it (though they don't necessarily update the firmware on previous devices).
