New B&N Nook upgrade

This update doesn't affect my Glowlight 3 but it looks like they not only changed the fonts on the new Nook update (for the Glowlight 4s) they also got rid of the "thinner" and "thicker" settings. The Georgia font is gone.

Why does Barnes & Noble think it's a good idea to remove useful features from their readers? Hyphenation, gone. Many font sizes at the lower end of the scale (that most people use), gone. Now making fonts darker with the "thicker" setting is gone.

If I don't have Constantia embedded in my ePub, the only font setting I use in my Glowlight 3 is Georgia with the "thicker" setting. My first eReader was a Nook Simple Touch. The last I'll buy is their Glowlight 3 (and I'll keep using the older firmware that still has hyphenation and a reasonable number of smaller font sizes).

I just don't understand removing wanted features. How do they think that will build good will?
