I love the nook. And I wish that you had a larger ebook collection. I often have to buy from Kindle just because, for whatever reason, B&N just doesn't have the ebook. There is also a bug in the magazine reader. When a magazine has an italicized initial, like CNN, ICE, etc. it doesn't actually show the full thing, only the first letter.

Good App, kind of laggy but also love how I'm able to read samples which gives a summary of what the book is about!!

My Nook doesn't work anymore. This is awesome that I can read my books on this app, and it works great!

Love the free books available for new users and especially adult free books offered. Totally a big fan and this app is the only one that has me reading big books.

I wish the app allowed me to sort my library from oldest to newest. The ability to follow my favorite authors and get alerts when they release a new book or one of their books goes on sale would also be nice. This is something the Kindle app offers. I'm trying to stay loyal to BN, but man, y'all are making it hard to.

New phone, same account, no record of purchased books and no way to recover them. Why buy a book if you can't keep it? Guess I'll stick to the library

Loved nook before the upgrade, but now I can't access my library at all just keeps going back the last book I read have had to uninstall twice, and it worked for a few minutes then back to no library access. I just got a new phone and now my library is showing completely empty, this app is frustrating, and I guess I will cancel this one and give up on actually reading any ebooks on my phone.
