Well, lookee there. Search does occasionally come up with what one is seeking, although not necessarily the answer one desires.

Took me by surprise when one day I opened my iPad nook app (nighttime reading) and was greeted by a message saying another device was further along, did I wish to update (paraphrasing). Then I realized it was the first time I had left the nook wifi on while opening the iPad when reading an actual nook book.

But no matter what I tried, I never got an update or similar request on the nook itself.
Thanks for the info.

And while I seldom have argument with your contributions, Scion, I did find it a bit out of character for you to make fun of someone for simply expressing frustration. But then I reread the OP, saw it was a quote rather than a MR poster and realized it was okay, lol. Yer right, the tone of his whining is a bit much.

Edit: Okay, tediously forced myself to read three more chapters on the iPad (that's a joke, just in case you don't pick up on it) before I finally got the nook itself to open to the current iPad page.

First time, I had closed the nook with the book open, so the update didn't work.

Second time, I had closed it to the Home page, but when opening the nook, immediately opened the book by habit.

Third time, I finally remembered to do the update before opening the book. Cook cookies. Book opened at Chapter 46 instead of 43. Thanks again for the posts that got me here.

Here's hoping BN gets an update out that makes it simpler, but there are much more pressing issues I'd rather see now that I at least can get it to work both ways. After all, I've got about 400 books sideloaded and maybe 4 cheap nook books -- I still refuse to pay more than $7, but reissued contemporary books I either haven't read or have forgotten, and non-Agency books for $.99-$5.00 I have no problem spending money on.

Interesting that the iPad app sees the changes without gymnastics, but the nook can't, yet.
