And I'm not the one saying that android updating is a problem: it is the tech industry, from Google on down, saying it.
And in the end, none of that would prevent me from buying the new Nook tablet if I were in the market for a tablet and it is at least of equal quality to my old Lenovo Tab2.

If your tablet works for you and you aren't sideloading .apks from sketchy third party sources, you should continue to be fine. Updates or no.

How many people refuse to upgrade from Windows 7 or even Windows XP?
