Yay, thank you! I do hope the "android app coming soon" is genuinely soon - I can't think they'd have to make too many changes to port from the Nook Color app they apparently made. ![]() |

I'm do not see any book titles when browsed the ap store last night, so you must be crazy. ![]() ![]() For me the web browser if more than sufficient. I read newspapers, forums, and so on on the Nook Color with no significant issues noted. So far, happy with the upgrade. |

1.2 seems excrutiatingly slow and the WiFi is gulping down my battery charge. And yes I did a couple extra complete restarts to ward off any gremlins. Web browsing is clunky and Youtube videos are way to jerky and choppy. I personally cannot justify keeping this POS when the only thing it is good for is reading and the stock reader is garbage. It is a shame as the screen is the best LCD I've seen in the 6+ inch range. I'm going to stick with the iPad and Sony PRS-350.
The only saving grace in this 5+ month experiment is that I only bought one B&N overpriced book. All the rest were bought from Sony and Amazon, stripped of DRM, converted if necessary, and enjoyed without allowing the jerks at B&N the satisfaction of recouping any of their underwriting for the NC! ![]() |

But searching... seems like it. Go to the app store, click the search field at the bottom, and type in "Kindle". (I was looking for the Kindle app just to be funny.) You'll bring up a bunch of books about the Kindle. Books, not apps. I don't know why they would make the app search results include books as well. ![]() |

Why des every one hate the stock reader? I've found it better than adequate. And the the browsing is fast, youtube plays just fine.
And book pricing for the most part is the same evertywhere so that's not a big deal. |

If I criticize the NC it is because it deserves to be criticized, as does Google for producing a lackluster Android OS. Even Scion who used to be the loudest proponet of the NC has given up on it. To be honest, the only good thing about the NC is its terrific LCD screen, though it is a widescreen which is bad for reading. A reader is better off with a 4:3 screen like most of the eInk readers. The only thing a widescreen is good for is video. If you read the red, italics portion of my signature you will see I have no loyalties to any hardware or OS vender.

It also seems strange to me that they've gone out of their way to not include the basic google apps (email, calendar, etc.). |

I just noticed that the charger light doesn't turn green after reaching a full charge. It always worked fine in 1.0-1.1, but perhaps 1.2 broke it. The charge indicator says Full Charge.
Battery is still draining rather quickly, so I'm thinking the idiots at B&N must have screwed up the battery drivers with this update as I never had any issues before. Last edited by jswinden; 04-26-2011 at 07:47 PM. |
