More update blues in the news: The recently launched Nook Color update that turns your once humble e-reader into a full fledged Android tablet appears to have a nasty bug. Reports are circulating that the latest Nook Color update is causing devices to randomly reset. From there users are asked to re-register their devices. However, they’re also unable to connect up to WiFi networks leaving users stuck in a “registration mode” of sorts.

The issue is quickly filling up the Barnes & Noble forums, though B&N hasn’t been all too helpful there or to individual emails sent in asking for help.

We’ve sent an email Barnes’ way and will update you once we hear back. In the meantime, let us know how your Nook Color has been holding out so far and if you’ve had any issues with the update in question.

Update

A B&N rep got back with us today, stating that they’ve already identified and corrected the issue:

Thank you for your email.

A small number of NOOK Color customers were affected by the NOOK Color
1.2 software update causing their devices to revert to factory settings.
We had already identified the problem and fixed it immediately.

We hope you find this information helpful.

Sincerely,

Sofia
