Thanks for the heads up. I finally had a reason to boot my laptop up in Windows 8 instead of Linux. However, it seems like the Nook app won't download when I have another app displayed on the monitor. I wonder if that's something programmed into the Nook app or if that's just another reason to hate Win8. No multitasking? Hello? 1994 wants its application back.

On the plus side, the Windows 8 Nook app can download comics and magazines, something I can't do with the Windows XP Nook app.
