High hopes for this app

While I had high hopes for this app, but application has definitely been underwhelming. Purchased a 16.99 book that I cannot open. Tried to purchase a 1.99 book that won't download. I called B&N for tech help and after trying to help, the tech basically said to check out their site for patches for the problem.

The New Science of Persuasion and Influence

Rating: 3 from 5

This is a wonderful book made challenging by the numerous typos that appear throughout. The publishers are obviously far less concerned by quality than Mr. Beck is. That being said, I still would highly recommend this as an important read for self development.

I can read and bookmark

I can read and bookmark but that is about it. I would like to see addition of highlighting and other note taking, as well as word search and dictionary. Especially when I'm reading technical material. I suppose I can workaround note taking with OneNote, but word search is important when double checking acronyms and concepts.

I love the Nook apps!

I love the Nook apps! However, I DO wish that they had came out with a "Windows 8" version of Nook Study. Anyone not trying to keep up with Windows 8 or Microsoft would be out of their mind! I can get a Nook Study off my boyfriend's iPad but not for my PC. This makes me bias to the Windows reader and I won't buy textbooks here until are compatible with the windows 8 platform, same with iTunes!

No sideloading of ebooks?! Come on...

Neat interface, but no side loading is a complete dealbreaker. Put that in and I will revise my review.

Needs better magazine support

Rating: 3 from 5

The resolution of magazines is too low, making the text somewhat fuzzy. I don't think this is a limitation of Windows RT, as there is another program available that has much better magazine support. This really needs to be fixed.
