It was a short 14 page story but gave me a good idea how nice the Nook works.

I did the upgrade to 1.2. Wouldn't have been necessary to go through the trouble with busybox only one week ago.
Anyway, so I'm able to compare before and after the update to 1.2.

Pros:
- PDBs definitely are working way better now. Before the update, about half of mine was showing wrong metadata for author or title.
- Registering by WiFi of course is a huge plus. Genious for us outside of US.
- Choosing any timezone is a nice add-on as well.
- Some state, the touchscreen would be faster now. I'm not sure about that, but it's at least same as before.

Cons:
- Somehow the icons in the touchscreen have changed. I did like the old interface better.

Over all, the firmware update absolutely was another step forward.
If they add screen rotation, I guess it's complete.

I haven't found the right cover yet. Do you have one already?
