That was changed with a firmware update. Sideloaded content now has access to the full storage capacity. That's been true for some time.
The other issue, that sideloaded content sometimes seems to get lost in the device is still a problem. I put 125 books on mine and it only finds 121 of them. If I connect it and use Windows Explorer I can see all of them but the Nook itself can't find the other four.
The problem is worse than it sounds. If I simply copy all 125 books to the Nook quite a few more get lost. I minimized it by copying them 5 and 10 books and then waiting for them to index before copying more.
It's easy enough to delete the ones the Nook doesn't find and copy them back individually, which solves this problem. Still it is an issue and for someone who keeps a lot of books on board it could be a real pain. I never have 125 books on any of my ereaders. I only put that many on board to test this. Usually I have about 30 to 50 books on board so it's a minor issue for me.
