Yeah, judging from the differences between new B&N app for Windows, and the old version still being used for Mac, apparently the ability to set your own fonts and background are gone, everything's all bunched up in one window with a sidebar, you can only highlight in one colour and can't seem export your notes, and adding books that aren't on your B&N account is hidden under My Stuff (just checked w/Wine on Mac; barfs on ePub, but okay with PDB), and you can no longer do that 2-page layout or the auto-scrolling.

On the plus side, it does keep a nice catalogue listing of all your books once you've got them entered, showing titles and covers and all. And you can skip straight to your annotations and highlights from the sidebar for the book you're currently reading.

And now you can access the table of contents in a rollout sidebar while you're reading, which seems to be very handy (doesn't exist in current Mac version) and "flip" through a book by sliding back and forth on the bottom progress navbar.

If I were you, I'd keep a copy of the old B&N version and install package around, just in case. I hope they don't mess things up too much when they finally do the Mac upgrade.
