Wow! Definitely worth the wait. This might be one of the few "professional" applications I have used on Android (first impressions of course).

It's large, but for a very good reason: nook for Android includes fonts! Unlike Kindle for Android (which doesn't even offer its standard Caecilia font) and Aldiko (which simply lies about supporting other fonts), this one includes eight fonts (which at 2MB per font accounts for much of the size), including the nook favorite Amasis. Also unlike Kindle for Android, the font size options are much more suitable for my eyes. (Aldiko obviously exceeds in the font size front by not dumbing down the selection.)

Thanks, Barnes & Noble! This just reaffirms my support of the second-place bookseller.

Now, if we could only get sideloading to work the application would be perfect.
