Not sure if this is a problem or maybe a battery saving feature since I can load the B&N store fine and it's really only sending bursts of data packets when loading the store and downloading the ebooks.

Has anyone noticed this?
You can "softroot" your nook and "lock" WiFi. Meaning, it doesn't dis-connect anymore, as long as you'd like to have it active. Mainly makes sense for the softrooted applications though...
