I think it's pretty obvious that B&N has pushed these GlowLight 3s out a bit before they were really ready so they would be available for Christmas. If I remember right, the NST also had early bugs that were fixed fairly quickly. As a matter of fact a lot of eReaders (including Kobos) often have early bugs. This is one of the reasons (besides being really cheap) that I don't rush out to buy the newest gadget.
Oh, and congratulations on your "buggy" software.
