I was reading on the Nook.com board about this issue, while some users are suggesting that it was intentional in the sense that the Nook is an only American supported device, there is no official word from the Barnes and Noble staff about this problem, I'm hoping this isn't the case. It would be an incredibly short sighted thing to do.

If I had a choice in the matter, I would go back to the previous software version.
Also, I discovered one morning, a couple of days ago, that the new software was being automatically downloaded after I turned on my ereader. Shouldn't that be optional?

Well I found that the pages do indeed turn faster than they did in 1.2, I think that if they truly want to reach peak performance they would modify the way in which bookmark and notes, and page numbers are displayed. When a page is turned, the text is first displayed, and then the page number is changed, in addition to removal or displaying of bookmarks/notes or highlights. Having to do that makes page turning much slower. They could speed up the page turning process if they simply had all these marks, text, and page numberings change in one step rather than in a two step process. It would make skipping pages much quicker.
Also I had made a call to customer service to exactly your problem, turns out the Nook is designed to look for updates, even when it is in screen saver mode, and even when it is in Airplane mode. The update is not optional unfortunately.
