I've been using CM7 on an SD card the past 4-5months and I recently updated my nookcolor to 1.3 from rooted 1.1.

Since updating, I find that I'd forgotten how much I loved the UI. It's so...polished and fancy - you can tell that someone put a lot of thought into it. I loved the magazine feature of it and the 1.3 software update has enhanced magazine features. I loved reading Time magazine on this - I wish I could read this on my nook app!

Since my nookcolor is only 6 months old and I'm seriously lacking in disposable income, I'll probably not be purchasing nookcolor 2. However, my wishlist is pretty simple and can be accomplished with the next software update:

1) True night mode - For some reason, nookcolor's night mode has a grey background instead of black. Why?
2) Landscape mode!!! - Why can I have 2 page landscape mode on my 4 inch screen phone (via the nook app) and not on my 7 inch nook color?

I find that I do a lot of reading at night and night mode is great for that. Also with landscape mode, I can use the flap of the case to balance the nook color on my stomach or my lap (the thing is heavy!). It kills me that those two features are available in the nook app but not the nook itself. What gives?
