Well, but you could be forgiven for not guessing that because they seemed to be going in that direction with the "shelves" update. The shelves were implemented extraordinarily badly, yes, but I thought (as did others) that they were going to fix it in this NC update and fix the Nook Classic at the same time.
.....we were wrong.
I still think the shelves is a great idea, but they really really really need to understand that (a) that data MUST be kept in the cloud (to sync across multiple devices) and (b) the gui has to be more usable.
I still think they're stuck in 1990.

Perhaps those whose only other experience with ereaders is a NOOK, don't recognize the devices shortcomings with regard to the reader app and library.

I'm wondering that as well. I like my Nook Classic, but after having used my PB360, I don't know that I can go back. The library management is just so crucial once you've past a certain number of books in your library.
The Nook seems best suited to buying a book from B&N, reading it, archiving it, and never keeping more than 20 books on the device. IMHO.
