Wow!!! The v. 1.2 update fixes both of my major problems with the Nook as originally shipped. You can now sort by Title or Author (now if there was just a quick way to navigate to a particular letter, the listing would be perfect). Additionally, the update appears to have totally fixed the problem of getting gibberish in reading at least the Title (but not author) part of many PDB books purchased from Ereader.com and Fictionwise.com, both now owned by B &N. I bought the Nook precisely because I had a large investment in DRMed PDB books from those two stores. In fact, I have been buying ebooks there since ereader.com was peanutpress.com. These always worked on the Nook, but you could not find them in the book list since their titles appeared as gibberish. Now they work well as long as you sort by Title and not Author!!!
