Just checking on all this today. Didn't know until today about the ADUPS. I gave my sis a Nook for Christmas, the new one for 49.00. Luckily all she can do is charge it, and then I was going to lead her through the setup, but heard the news thanks goodness.
I am searching for answers, can't get close to talking with B&N their lines are so busy. This is not just with the Nook either, according to other sources, many android devices are plagued with this issue.
Last thing I read was that B&N did an update to rid the new Nooks of the ADUPS. See below:
