I'm wondering whether the firmware update for the 2017 model is applied to the 2013 model. If that's the case, I need to dust off my old Glowlights and get rid of that memory partition.

Maybe I'll try it this weekend.
The Glowlight looked like a nice reader, but that 512MB for side-loading killed it and I think it really hurt the Nook brand overall.

The Glowlight 3 is a very nice machine. I just wish they would fix the buggy software. But with the way B&N is going, I'm not counting on it.

When reading, the 3 is trouble free and I guess that counts for a lot. Luckily, I'm not a big user of shelves.

In general, I think model for model, the Nooks always offered more on the hardware side than their Kindle competition. But dumb decisions like the sideloading limit and the extras Amazon offers in their software hurt the Nook.
