I'm giving up on the NC too. Mine will be in the Fleamarket in a few days or less. What B&N took over 5 months to deliver as an update should have been done in a few weeks. Update 1.2 is pathetic. My NC has sat mostly unused since I got the iPad, and now that the disappointing update is out I see no reason to keep a clunky reader with an even clunkier OS.

[edit] I only cared about the "reader" aspect of the NC. It is really not that good unrooted, so that is why I'm getting rid of mine.

@Snard, read my lips and the countless other posts--no fricking landscape in the stock ePub reader. Any references to landscape are to the other apps, not the ePub reader. Any confusion is due to ignorant posters and the idiots in the B&N marketing dept who apparently have no problem with lying. Little to no formatting improvements were added. It is total rubbage as an ePub reader. The dictionary still cannot find words with diacritical marks, umlats, etc.
