Yes, deDRM no longer works after the latest update.

You can still use an older Kindle no longer receiving updates for liberating your books, and there's a method for Kindle4PC too. But it's best not to rely on any method staying viable for long.

Well, I actually found one of the new fonts that I liked better. I even downloaded it and put it on my Kindle. The last update added the font thickness setting back. I never noticed that Nooks had no hyphenation until someone here pointed it out. I had to go look. Nook does have its shortcomings, but I sure miss the buttons on both sides when I am using my Kindle.
If the font thickness setting is back, that's good news. Curious as to which font you liked. I have no idea why hyphenation was removed.

I hate to agree with you because I liked the Nook readers I have, but some of the recent changes (getting rid of the only decent font they had, no hyphenation, no bolding option for fonts) kills them for me. I won't be buying a new Nook either (made the same decision on Kindles).
Getting rid of hyphenation and adding weight to fonts are really bad choices to make.

The latest Kindle firmware has tricks to block DRM removal. You would need a Kindle that at least handles Kf8 but will not get the latest firmware. However, it may be best if it didn't handle KFX in case Amazon decided to update the DRM on those older models.

I am apparently one of those rare people who prefer san serif fonts. I really like Roboto. I found it online for free and loaded it on my Kindles so all my readers use the same font.

The only font I like on my Nook is Georgia. I apparently don't have a Nook new enough for the new fonts. (I'm not complaining about that.)

Choice is good. I wish Nook was like most other eReaders, where you can load your own fonts. Then I could just install Constantia and I would be fine.

Agreed. Although it looks like font weight is back.

Is hyphenation still gone?

Yes, I think so. I sold my Nook GlowLight 3 that had the newer (de-hyphenated) firmware. I've still got the one with the old firmware.

I see no reason for a new nook if it's not going to have at least a 7" screen.

I have the Glowlight 4. I don't think its bulky at all. It is very thin and light. The bezels are a little wider but it is easy to hold. I just rest my thumb on the page turn button and a gentle squeeze to turn the page. It is the only reader that I am comfortable using one handed. Just my 2 cents.

When I first picked up my Glow4 it felt like a toy small and tiny. Not even my Voyage felt like that when I first held it. Out of the case the Glow4 is thin and light and doesn't tire out my hands or arms.
