I was using the GL4+ last night and I really like the hardware. It did take me a minute to learn that tapping the capacitive n button doesn't work like the page turn buttons, and requires a deliberate finger placed for 0.5 seconds - that's fine. But the quad buttons and large screen, combined with small touches like a flush bezel, comfortable rubber backing and comfort light make it worthwhile to read on. While I was only using stock reader and I noted that the B&N software was lacking. For starters, reading side loaded PDFs was painful (buttons failed to respond to page turns or were heavily delayed/lagging), but once I converted the PDFs to ePub page turning worked a lot better. Touching a word to lookup though required a what seemed like an excessive amount of time before the dictionary opened. I think this weekend I'm going to give a go at rooting and installing a launcher and KOReader. Do you have a launcher recommendation? Also, do you have your nook configured to boot into stock firmware and you manually launch KOReader, or do you have it configured to automatically launch KOReader on boot?
