Nook Gets Update V 1.2 no comments
Posted at 1:50 pm in Barnes and Noble,Random
Yesterday Barnes & Noble started sending out firmware update V 1.2 OTA. Some of the issues that the update addresses:
- Enhanced in-store seamless connectivity to enjoy free Wi-Fi, with our More In Store content and promotions exclusively for nook owners.
- Improved opening of eBooks and periodicals
- Improved response to Reading Now & Settings buttons
- Current reading page and bookmarks on all eBooks is properly saved when your nook is powered off
- Bookmarks display page number
- Eligible LendMe(TM) eBooks in My Library include a LendMe(TM) flag
- Easier navigation of daily subscription with issues rolled into one folder
- Improved “back” button functionality for navigating eBooks and periodicals
- Personal files downloaded onto nook and displayed in My Documents can be sorted by author & title
- Overall system improvements and battery optimization
There are reports that in some cases the update has corrupted contents of the My Documents folder. This glitch seems in particular to be affecting PDF files. It would probably be a good idea to back this folder up onto your computer if you have not received the update already – just in case.
B & N says that it will take around a week for the update to reach all nook ereaders, but you can also do a manual download if you can’t wait.
