I've used the Nook reader app for years and it recently developed two problems. One is that I have to swipe twice to turn the page. The other is that it sometimes loses page continuity. For example, a sentence might begin at the end of a page then doesn't continue to the next page. Instead, it jumps forward a line or two. I have to bring up the chapters then go back to that page for it to continue properly. I have version 6.6.4.1.1. Is the version in the Play store newer?

The WORST audio player for audiobooks. It's frustrating to constantly have the book start back at the opening credits in the middle of a chapter. Their customer service support is also really bad and basically amounts to, "Restart the app!" Disappointing and frankly unacceptable from one of the biggest book retailers in the world.

I have always preferred the Nook reading experience over Kindle, but what I have really enjoyed the last several months was the seriel reads. However, this month part way through a book it just disappeared. I have reached out and gotten no reply and I am very sad. I really enjoyed the chapter or two a day. It keeps me from reading all night long. So I have taken away a star and hope this weird happening is a glitch. I can't even remember the name of the book that I was reading.

We appreciate your loyalty to the Nook reading experience and apologize for any disappointment. B&N Readouts, which included Serial Reads, is no longer available in the B&N NOOK app with version 6.6.4 and later. We are working on future features to continue serving our reading community. This month's Serial Read has been added to your NOOK Library.
