I hope everyone enjoys the new update, especially those of you who have been waiting over a month for some serious improvements to your nook.
I use my nook to read manga scans and since the update page turns are much slower while viewing them.
Matt, sorry to hear about this. Have you tried to remove/reload the files? Some users are experiencing crashing problems with My Documents, but I haven’t read anything about slower page turns. Do you have any non-manga books? If so, how are the page turns?
They still did not fix the pagination problem. Some charts are lost on the right side and you lose some sentences at the bottom of the page. Only on a few books though. Changing font size helps temporarily, until you hit the next “lost sentence” and you have to change the font size again. Not serious, but it is a nuisance. 1.2.1 anyone?
