Many folks have mentioned getting an MicroSD Class 10, they run from $40-$90 if you plan on running off of your SD card. I'm using an 8GB Class 2 and am quite happy. I'm tempted to buy a class 10 card for improved performance, but I don't know if it's worth it.
The battery life is good It usually last me the whole day. I can use it for about 3-4hrs of solid use--WIFI, full screen brightness on. If you just want to read and have the brightness down I think 6-8hrs is doable. Yes it's a drag having to charge it daily since I'm use to my Kindle going 1-2wks w/o a charge, but I do use my nook for much more than reading.
Honycomb is very tempting, but it is far from stable. There are a lot of apps that do not work on HC which is why I'm holding off. Give the app developers and the HC/nook crew more time to work on stability.
Right now nookie(Froyo) works great. Here are some of my links in the B&N forum
I got some "Nookie" last night and I'm loving it!
Apps that work on the nookie (eReader centric)
Sure I'll repost a picture but you won't get much from the post the PDF looks fine. Also note the buttons to the left is an app called "Button Savior". Android expects 4 buttons, since the nook has only one button this app is necessary for you to interact with most of the apps. (you can make the buttons minimize, in the photos they are maximized.
Here is a link that I posted for somebody else. It does not have reflow on (
