Nook for Android updated no comments
Barnes & Noble has updated its Nook for Android app. Besides bug fixes and performance improvements the new features include a couple of digital magazine items: “Top Free Newsstand Trials” is is a new feature in the Shop and the individual issues of the magazines you subscribe to now have a date label when displayed in the library. This is nice as it makes it easier to sort them.
The book and newspaper reader for tablets has been re-skinned and the search function improved. You can now (via the settings) opt to have the status bar hidden while reading.
It really is too bad that B&N did not add landscape mode for books to its recent Nook Color update — landscape is enabled in both the Android and iOS Nook apps.

Barnes & Noble Updates eReading Apps no comments
Barnes & Noble announced today that it is updating its ereading apps for the iPhone, iPad and PC. The B&N apps are also getting a name upgrade, and will henceforth be known as NOOK for iPad, NOOK for PC, etc.
The new NOOK for iPhone app seems to be getting the most new features and now has many new customization options. These include much of what was included in B&N’s iPad app – lots of font and background colors to choose from and other features to let you personalize your reading.
NOOK for iPad adds book rating, sorting ebooks by favorites and some unspecified performance enhancements . There is also now a user guide and tutorial. Apparently all the NOOK for PC app gets is the new name.
