From my experience, the Glowlight 3 isn't slow when reading epubs. It is about as speedy as any other e-reader I've ever used when turning pages and so on.
However, it is quite slow when outside of a book.
I don't do a lot of fancy work on my e-readers. I don't create custom shelves or collections and for me the Glowlight works perfectly. But a quick glance at the Nook forum seems to show that there have been issues with custom shelves disappearing and sideloaded books coming and going. Again, I haven't seen any of that myself, but there's enough noise that I do believe it.
I think the Glowlight 3 is a lovely bit of hardware. But it does seem that their software is buggy right now.

As always, B&N seems good at shooting themselves in the foot. The recent layoffs don't inspire me with a great deal of confidence in getting a device from them.

You'll get a device from them and it will be nice. But even though I am a Nook champion, I am worried that they won't get a more stable version of their firmware out any time soon.
