B&N Admits Nook Simple Touch 1.1 Update Broke Wi-Fi, Fix on the Way

Owners of the Nook Simple Touch e-book reader from Barnes and Noble may have found that not all was well after getting the 1.1 software upgrade.

Barnes & Noble, after looking into the situation, has reportedly admitted that the update really did cause problems.

People who stopped by the e-reader forum may already know, but for those who don't, the upgrade caused issues with the Wi-Fi connectivity.

The bookseller is now working on a fix, but there is no clue how long it will take for the new update to be ready.

Owners of the Nook Simple Touch will just have to bear with the situation until then. After all, unlike with the Nook Tablet (which got CyanogenMod 7 Android), there aren't any people working on unofficial hacks and mods for this small e-reader.
