New Tablet software vs. 1.4.1?

[ Edited ]
I purchased a new tablet yesterday and my software version is 1.4.1 and I see the newest update is 1.4.3. My question is can I update to the newest version directly or, do I need to update to1.4.2 and then to the latest update. Is this a stupid question?

You can update directly, either manually by downloading from B&N or automatically by lettingyour Nook go to sleep with WiFi on for an extended period.

It's not a stupid question.

 

The best option would be:

 

1) Charge your Nook to at least 70%.

 

2) Turn on WiFi.

 

3) Press the power button to put it to sleep.

 

Then the Nook will automatically check for updates and will update.

I'm not sure about whether in manual updates it's OK to go from 1.4.1 to 1.4.3.

 

It should be.

 

Finally, there's not much added in 1.4.3. I would recommend letting the automatic update happen (put your device to sleep with battery charged) at its own time.

Thank you, I will try to do the auto update and if that doesn't work I will do it manually.
