Confirmed now. Basically the newer Glowlight 3 firmware skipped a font size — the size I happened to use.

I found a used GL3 which was still on release 49.x and am able to confirm this. Also, something else I hadn't noticed. FW 49.x used hyphenation, FW 53.x does not.

At any rate, some pictures.

The first shows Position #3 on both. The same book, same page number, same font and page margin and line settings. Both have exactly the same content — though the old software uses hyphenation and the new doesn't.

The second shows Position #4 on both. Again, everything is set the same. The old firmware has 22 lines, the new has 20. The size difference is obvious.

The third shows Position #5 on the old firmware and Position #4 on the new. As you can see, they're nearly (not exactly) the same size — and both have 20 lines per page.

So basically B&N removed the old Position #4 font size, the one I had used. I was planning on sending the new GL3 to my dad, but he would be more likely to want the bigger font anyhow — so he will probably get the one I've had for a while. (But I might have to find a battery replacement for the "new" GL3, if any are available.)
