With the introduction of Barnes & Noble’s Android-based eReader – the Nook – many were wondering why Barnes & Noble won’t release an Android application for smaller and similar devices with non-eInk displays. Most of the big players have already made their way to the market – with Amazon, Kobo, and Borders each having published an app in recent weeks and months – so it made no sense for Barnes & Noble to stay out of the race.
They felt that way too, fortunately, and it appears they’ve been working on their application all along. With this kind of choice, the consumers are the winners here: there’s now no excuse as to why you couldn’t feed your hunger for eBooks due to platform restrictions. “Coming Soon” is all we can gather regarding any release date, but I’m positive we’ll see this thing hit the market before the sun stops shining this summer.
