This app was awesome when I first got my Galaxy 10.1 tab but after the last upgrade it is useless. I've called Samsung and B&N Support and they keep blaming each other. I've tried uninstalling it reinstalling it a dozen times. I've done this while on the phone and chat with B&N support. I've tried downloading it from AppBrain and the regular android market that comes on the tablet all with no success. I can open the library and download my books but whenever I try to open a book or magazine I get the message, This application (B&N ereader) has closed unexpectedly, please try again. I've not been able to open a book since the upgrade with absolutely no help from B&N. I finally gave up and now I get my books through Kindle and they work fine. It was a great app but no longer.

Since the last NOOK update I haven't been able to open any of my books. It send an error message saying Cannot open books at this time. Try again later. Its later still cant open books.

Cannot find on the market thus can't install. Strange.

This app definitely knocks Kindle and Kobo ereader apps dead in their tracks as Nook has more settings that assist the visually impaired, such as line spacing options and true LARGE FONTS!

Robin, how did you get this app on your Nook Color? I've tried to get it (using CM7) but it's not listed in marketplace, and when i go through appbrain to install, it just says App cannot be found. AGHH!! Any help??

b&n lose the ebook war again I used to push students to invest in b&n. But now they can't even download the books they need to read for school. It won't work. And etextbooks still require a full computer (no nook or tablet support). Is it any wonder kindle and ipad are swimming the ebook war??

Piece of **** This app sucks balls. Magazines still stacking on top of each other on CM 7.1 after 3 months. Uninstalled.
