I just bought the Nook HD+ 32. I love it. My only complaint is still unable to sort books by series. My Sony does and I find it incomprehensible that B&N has not implemented a software fix for this oversight.

@Jim can you describe which features are and are not supported in the Windows 8 version? I downloaded last night and was all set to study a textbook whe I discovered that the app appears to be missing Nook annotation features... And I really rely on the annotation features. Please advise? Thanks!

I don't do well on negative lists, but here's a shot compared to a Nook Tablet
(nothing is implied by this ordering)

Text Selection (and hence annotation and dictionary lookup)
Kids Picture Books
Zoom View on Comics
Enhanced Epubs (no Movies)
Import of non Nook content.
ArticleView on Magazines
Certain magazines (Conde' Nast titles such as Wired, for instance)
Apps

There's probably more I missed (which is why I hate negative lists)

Thanks very much. Any idea when we might see annotation? Also, I take it that the Win8 app is a complete rewrite of the existing Nook for Windows app? Does the existing Nook for Windows app continue to run on an Intel Win 8 machine? Just wondering... Thanks again.

oh neat! I'll have to download this!

Clarifying: import non-Nook content is not possible with the Windows 8 app?

Thanks!
