Rumor has it there's a new NOOK on the way. After this experience, it doesn't matter if the new one can pick winning lottery numbers, I'm not touching it.

For what it's worth, the Glowlight 3 problems seem to have started when they flipped partitions to give users more room for sideloading. (They should have just never partitioned the drive in the first place and they wouldn't be in this mess.)
I have a Glowlight 3 and a Glowlight Plus. They run the same firmware, but the Plus is stable and the 3, less so.
I've mostly moved on to Kobo, but I still love Nook hardware. My much better half uses the Glowlight 3. She doesn't use collections and only reads one book at a time. She's had zero issues.
I do the sideloading and haven't seen an issue with books disappearing. After disconnecting the Glowlight 3, you do have to leave it alone for a few minutes. I have to do the same with my Kobos, but those devices do seem to be better about notifying you that they are updating the database, whereas the Nooks appear to try to do it behind the scenes.
