2 month update: The NST with @nmyshkin's Phoenix Project rework has been working great! It's one of my work place e readers so it's constantly with me being used. I've only had one hiccup when it randomly froze when I came to read on it after a week of not using it. I was able to manually restart it and no problem since then.
The Phoenix Project rework didn't take long to set up how I wanted it to run but there's enough customization-if a little slow-that you can tinker with it for a while to get it just right. If you dont want to tweak it, it can be used as is after the rework and it would still be usable.
To me this is a solid daily day time use e reader for sideloaded books only no PDF. I do like the recessed screen and the clarity to me is great I don't see the fuzziness people talk about sometimes when it comes to these old e readers. Hell occasionally certain words look a little floaty on the screen.I got lucky that my buttons and faceplate weren't too tacky feeling and still arent. I have since discovered that vinyl skins like for cars are made for e readers and they are still made for the NST. If Armour All lets me down I'll vinyl the thing and keep using it.
One thing though is the plastic band around the faceplate is white. Does that mean anything? I know I don't have a Glowlight NST but most NST I've seen the band is black.
