The most annoying thing now to me about the B&N app store is that they've dragged their feet so long on rolling this update out(was supposed to have happened over a month ago according to their original timeline posted to their developers forum) is that in the meantime Amazon app store has come out and I've ended up buying an Android phone as well, so I've already bought apps and certainly won't be re-buying them from the B&N store...

IMO B&N blew their chance. Had they been able to get this update out by end of January I'd've been happier... now I'm just meh... I've got other tablets that I use more and frankly the IPS screen of the NC just doesn't mean much to me.

(Oh hilarity ensues... they're selling ezPDF reader in the app "store"... Did I miss something somewhere? Or wasn't PDF supposed to be one of the NC own supported formats as in the case of this device I'd expect it to be about the bestthat you can get on Android with the stock fw already...)

[EDIT]
Even better $2.99 for Angry Bird when it's $0.99 @ both Amazon and Google Markets...
