For some reason, my fully registered and connected (tried via WiFi and 3G) isn't updating (or I'm too impatient), found that BN has updated their support site with information on manually updating via USB.

How do I get the new nook software manually?
If you don't have a registered nook, or if you don't have any wireless connectivity, you can side-load the new nook software to your nook. Follow the steps below:
1) Connect your nook using the USB cable in the package to your computer. A new, removable nook drive should show up in My Computer. You should also see a "USB Mode" image on your nook's E Ink display.
2) Download the software update file to your computer.
3)Drag and drop the downloaded file to the root directory of the nook drive.

4) Eject or Safely Remove the nook drive after the file transfer is complete.
5) Your nook will recognize the file and proceed to prepare and install the updates.
Please do not power off your nook during the installation process.
Once the installation is completed, your nook will automatically go to the Home screen.
Congratulations, your nook has been updated!
For additional help, please call Customer Service nook support at 1-800-THE-BOOK (843-2665).
