  1. Great update; installed it today (manually though it only takes 5-10 minutes to dld and put on the NC, then the NC does the rest by itself).

    Some cool stuff – the pdf’s now can be read with the usual NC reader in addition to the Quick Office; I have EZPdf too and that got an update also.

    New fonts/looks/spacing/margins – love some new spacing things as they de-clutter some e’s I have without needing to use the larger font that I used before; did not play too much with the new choices beyond that but there quite a few new ones.

    More little differences here and there too, but did not use anything else as I use my NC only for reading with occasional browsing on the go, though my 10 year old son loves playing Angry Birds of all things on it…

    Great post anyway as it alerted me to the major update.
