It had an account on it when I bought it, but since I wanted to connect my own account, I erased and reformatted it. When I went thru the setup, it gets stuck after login. I called B&N and they said it's blacklisted and they won't undo it for me. I've tried several methods mentioned here to bypass setup, but I'm getting nowhere. It's definitely on the newest firmware because after the reset, it found and applied a firmware update after connecting to Wifi. However I don't know specifically what version number the firmware is.
