opening books with this new update is really fast,especially previously opened books, page changing seems a tad faster, but again it was plenty fast before.
Me likey this new update so far. |

Did they add synchronization with other devices (like Kindle whispersync), which has apparently been missing from the nook?

At least the reading experience hasn't gotten worse, still it's annoying that I can't highlight or select words on the epubs I made. |

I didn't see that. A book of mine, an Irish translation of The Alice in Wonderland, which was displayed as Eilíse i dTír na nIontas when I had version 1.2 got garbled after I updated to 1.3. With version 1.4 it is displayed in My Documents as EıÃ-se ıdTÃ-r na Iiontas.
At least the text in the book is not garbled. Some other things I wanted, did get improved. I like being able to go to a page, but I think the slidebar option will be clumsy when navigating in large documents. I am thankful for XXL. Some of my recent book acquisitions have very small typesize, even in XL. There seems to be much inconsistency in fontsize between publishers. Adding XXL allows me more control over what appears on the screen. I hope I won't need XXXL or XXXL in the future to deal with shrinking text. |

The accent marks finally did show up. This happened after I walked into a B&N store, turned the WiFi off then on again. I'm not sure what I did that straightened it out. It didn't occur immediately after 1.4 was installed.

Personal Video review of 1.4 Firmware
I did again a little review of the new firmware. This time I like what they came up with.
I love the go to page possibility, I love to have daylight savings time setting, I think its a little bit faster in everything. Funny thing is. I did not loose my softroot after the new firmware was installed. Anybody else has this experience? |

I have noticed that the standard system "Settings" button on the nookLauncher does not appear to work so I have to go through the default Home menu to change system settings. But I didn't get to use it long enough at softroot 1.3 to know whether it worked before the update. Troy |
