Using just a fraction of that free memory causes it to not have enough memory to install updates. Even with an SD card, you have to be very careful not to let any of the free internal memory be used. Also, every week or two the Kindle app would mysteriously disappear. I eventually ended up buying my wife a Kindle Fire because the Nook was just not suitable for anything other than using the Nook apps.
That's a shame. Hopefully yours was just a lemon rather than the norm. If I was looking to buy a cheap Android tablet, I'd snap up the Nook over the Fire because of it running Android instead of Fire OS. But that behavior would make me crazy.
