Once in the nook app, you are stuck with one page/magazine until the blasted thing download entirely (even if you just wanted to get it on the W8 device to have it in your library and were going to download later, elsewhere ... no, you MUST download to W8 with every purchase).
Almost more trouble than it is worth (and two of the "free books" are samplers that are already free on Kindle, that B&N decided to only give to customers with W8, once again screwing their current customer base in favor of "gaining" potential new suckers ...errr.. customers). Two books (and I already have Life of Pi, so only one for me) and four magazines that take ages to download while the little blue bar works it's slow way across the screen.

I got the same connection too slow when I first attempted to install. I thought perhaps it was because it was a new install of Win8 and it was synching in the background (and running in a VM). If my UVerse 24Mbps connection is too slow, there's something REALLY wrong.
Yes, the download at purchase was annoying. All five books are available on all my devices, but only 1 or 2 of the magazines are available as I mentioned previously. My 10 inch tablet shows the same two magazines that my Nexus 7 does, so I suppose the other 3 are only available on Win and possibly Nook tablet devices.
