Two years is impressive. No problems with it peeling or collecting gunk in the edges of the tape?
No problems at all. I did stretch the tape a bit on one side and it has contracted about 1mm, but it's not enough to make me do anything about it. I keep it in a case, the case B&N sold for it BITD so the condition of the back sticky or no, isn't an issue. The case coating is flaking off. I was thinking book binding tape might work on it. Duct tape would not be right, IMHO. As long as the battery holds out, my NST will remain in use as my secondary ereader.

The White Band NST was Christmas 2011, a month after I bought my NST.

Regarding the firmware. It has never frozen up or crashed and restarted like my Libra 2 has done, and done more than once.
