I've never used the page turn buttons and have not experienced the problem. I don't know how anyone can use those buttons. They really hard to press. I rooted my nook, and in Alreader set all touch zones around the edges of the screen to page forward, so I don't need to use the buttons.

Yep. Every time I side-loaded a new book to the Glowlight 3 it wiped out all the shelves I created. Every. Single. Time. I now use a Kobo Clara HD. |

Well that's just stupid. So, to clarify, side-loaded books were available but you couldn't customize their organization? Or did they disappear altogether?

My hunch is that each time ANY new files were side-loaded, the Glowlight 3 interpreted ALL the side-loaded material as newly added to the device. You could see it happen. The covers of all those side-loaded books would briefly appear in the "new and recent" section of the home page. They would march by like toy soldiers. As I have over 2000 volumes on my Kobo, you can imagine that this behavior of the NOOK Glowlight 3 quickly became unmanageable. In B&N's defense, they make no money on side-loaded books, so why should they invest resources in helping us use them? |

In the process of giving all my old Nooks (4 of them) away to nieces and nephews. Bought a Glowlight 3 and encountered this exact same issue (shelves).
