Google Play Store is not installed on the Plus, so you need to sideload apps. One app that is helpful is the Amazon App Store. Once you get this app installed on the Plus, you can get apps from this store and install them on the Plus. I installed Moon Reader Pro in this way. It works quite well. I also tested KOReader, which also works very well.
I was considering trying this, because I like Moon Reader a lot, but I was concerned it might impact the GL4+'s battery life. (My other Android reader, an Inkbook Focus, has battery life that is let's call it "not great". Despite this, I am weirdly attached to it.) Have you noticed any faster battery drain on the Nooks after you make these changes?
