NOOK ver1.7 includes a minor system update.

The ver1.7 update is available immediately as a manual download and, for those registered NOOKs connected to Wi-Fi, as an automatic download. To get the software update right now, follow the instructions above for manual download. If your NOOK is registered and has Wi-Fi connectivity (Airplane mode should be OFF and Wi-Fi should be turned ON and connected to a hotspot), the device will automatically download the software and install it on your NOOK. While connected to Wi-Fi, to initiate the update, you should tap 'Check for new B&N content' under My Library. However, if the update does not start automatically, please try again in a couple of hours or the next day or follow the instructions above to download the update file manually. The process takes approximately 5-7 minutes via Wi-Fi or 4-5 minutes for the manual download (depending on your connection). You should NOT turn your NOOK off while the new software is being downloaded. Once the software update is completed, your NOOK will automatically restart and display the Home screen. The software update will preserve your personal settings, including your registered account information, content, display settings, and Wi-Fi settings.

To verify you have the latest update, go to Settings from the Home menu and check to see that your Software version is 1.7.
