Funny you should mention that -- this just popped up in my rss reader:

Although the eReader software that the B&N eReader is based on is solid, Barnes and Noble obviously made some changes to it, both visually and functionally (did I mention the Wikipedia thing?).
Unfortunately, the bug I hit is this:
I like big books. Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon. Dan Simmons’ Drood and Carrion Comfort. Stephen King’s uncut version of The Stand. Things like that. And when you load one of these books into the B&N software on your iPhone, well, it has trouble. If you click the Home button on your iPhone with your big juicy book still open, the next time you open the software, it thinks for a minute or so, and then closes.
And the only way to re-open the reader software . . . is to reinstall it.

Your intrepid Gear Diary team is On the Case, trying to get hold of the appropriate people at B&N and find out what the heck is going on. We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, just be cautious.
And don’t get me started on the fact that I can’t read my Fictionwise/eReader books in this app, either …
