Just a few days ago, we learned Barnes & Noble would be bringing out an Android app for their eReader platform “very soon”. That very soon was not exhaggerated as it’s now sitting comfortably in the Android market as of this morning. After being beaten to the market by other major players – Amazon, Kobo, and Borders – Barnes & Noble was missing out on the eReader explosion that seems to finally be taking place on Android.
It didn’t make sense that they weren’t the first out, either, considering their Nook eReader runs Android. The app gives users full access to their current backlog of titles purchased through Barnes & Noble. It also comes with the standard subset of features that every eReader has with font controls, different orietnations, searches and filters, and more.
If you’re a new user, you’ll even get a few free books worth your time: Dracula, Little Women, and Pride & Prejudice. It’s out now, though, so go ahead and look for it in the Android market if you’ve been waiting for this one. [note]: It’s a ~5mb download, so you may want to ensure you’re on WiFi and free up some space if you haven’t already.
