Me too! Going back to the old lighted screens is like walking into a room with too many old-fashioned fluorescent lights.

I've been experimenting with side-loading epubs onto the NG3. Had success moving small batches of books at a time. Wouldn't advise moving more than a dozen at once.

Then, when the PC tells you that it's safe to remove the NOOK, don't believe it. This NOOK is a ponderous beast; be patient. My screensaver is set to a five-minute delay; I wait until the screen saver appears before unplugging the cable. My hunch is that the device is re-organizing ALL the side-loaded files at that time, not just the new ones. It might be that the more books you have in the side-loaded partition, the longer you should wait before unplugging.

In the end I wonder if the practical limit to side-loading on this device won't be the stability of the data, rather than the total amount of memory available.
