Confirmed now. Basically the newer Glowlight 3 firmware skipped a font size the size I happened to use.
I found a used GL3 which was still on release 49.x and am able to confirm this. Also, something else I hadn't noticed. FW 49.x used hyphenation, FW 53.x does not.
At any rate, some pictures.
The first shows Position #3 on both. The same book, same page number, same font and page margin and line settings. Both have exactly the same content though the old software uses hyphenation and the new doesn't.
The second shows Position #4 on both. Again, everything is set the same. The old firmware has 22 lines, the new has 20. The size difference is obvious.
The third shows Position #5 on the old firmware and Position #4 on the new. As you can see, they're nearly (not exactly) the same size and both have 20 lines per page.
So basically B&N removed the old Position #4 font size, the one I had used. I was planning on sending the new GL3 to my dad, but he would be more likely to want the bigger font anyhow so he will probably get the one I've had for a while. (But I might have to find a battery replacement for the "new" GL3, if any are available.)
