Yeah I know the NOOK Tablet got all the media attention this week, but that doesn’t mean Barnes & Noble forgot about users who enjoy using the Nook app on their Android tablets and smartphones. Quite the contrary, the company has also revamped its Android app, making it look much better while also adding few new features, including:
- NOOK Newsstand
- Personalized recommendations
- Larger book and newsstand covers in the NOOK Library
- Global lock orientation setting
It’s a small update that will definitely help you get more on-the-go entertainment, presuming you like reading ebooks and magazines (with Newsstand) on your Android-based device.
And of course, you can still purchase ebooks from your phone or tablet or lend them if you fancy so. The last option is very neat and Nook is the only application that allows the capability (which is something B&N strongly emphasizes).
Finally, if you have your own ePub files, you can always side load them and use Nook to read them. Love it…
