Does anyone know what OS this device uses? Still Android 2.1, or something newer?

Eh...you'd think BN would get that right...for the grand launch of their own device. Sheesh. And that lifetime in-store service part isn't all that enticing either as BN closes their stores. There's a BN outside my doorstep but who knows how long it'll be there.

My closest Barnes and Noble is 50 miles away. I would have loved to pick up my reader in person. I was so tempted to take a 'sick' day.
I'm really liking the new cover choices also. I ordered the soft back since I don't like keeping my readers in a case. I like supporting Barnes and Noble, the more competition, the better for the consumer. |

I remember when they did the update to the old Nook Tab to take away sideloading of apps after it had been out for a bit. |

Does (did) it really say "4GB memory: 2.5 GB for content, of which 2GB is reserved for NOOK Store content"?
At the moment it says "4GB memory: 2.5GB for NOOK Store content and side-loaded content". Have they changed their mind, or did they just make a mistake announcing their own product at launch time? ... It's great to hear B&N is getting back into the ball game. Hopefully they will also make it easier again to read your books how YOU want to read them. A reliably working website would be nice too. |
