IвЂ™d guess it was because the app has to work on both tablets and desktops, but other Windows universal apps such as Netflix and Hulu restore down and move from screen to screen just fine. ThereвЂ™s no particular reason why this should have to be the case.

If you right-click at the top of the screen where the title bar should be to bring up the movement options, everything but вЂњMinimizeвЂќ and вЂњCloseвЂќ is greyed out. It remains stuck to your primary display.

You canвЂ™t restore it down to take up only part of the screen, and you canвЂ™t move it from one monitor to another-not even using the shortcut of Windows key plus arrow that works on just about everything else. That said, it does have one more annoying aspect. In fact, it actually has more formatting options than the Adobe Digital Editions I normally use for reading EPUBs on my desktop-and unlike ADE, its user-interface gets out of the way when I donвЂ™t need it. I could see using this to read my Nook titles or my own EPUBs and not feeling too boxed-in by a lack of choices.

The text find function is fast and snappy, too. Turning pages is swift and responsive the text slides left or right to move to the next or previous set of pages. The books donвЂ™t look too bad on a desktop-sized screen all the same, though.

One area where the formatting options have backslid is that there is no longer any way to disable full justification, and thereвЂ™s no automatic hyphenation. There arenвЂ™t too many fonts available, but it has my favorite reading font of вЂњGeorgia,вЂќ so IвЂ™m happy. There are options for line spacing, margin width, number of columns (from 1 to 4, or automatic based on font size), font, and theme. The menu is a lot more like those on mobile apps rather than Windows apps now-you no longer choose font size by point, but from a row of different-sized letters. The formatting options available in the вЂњTextвЂќ menu are pretty good.

It turns out that was the fault of the e-book file, not the software itself. In my earlier review, I complained that the Nook reader put blank lines between the paragraphs as well as the indentation-but now that I check again, I find the Young Wizards book I reviewed at the time still opens with the excess blank lines, whereas other books donвЂ™t.

On a related note, it looks like I might owe the old Nook PC app an apology. It might not be GoogleвЂ™s Material Design, but it nonetheless does look like it belongs in Windows 10. If you compare the photo here to the ones of the old PC app in my earlier review, youвЂ™ll note it looks a lot more polished by comparison. You can also left-click on words to highlight or annotate them. You can page forward and back using the scroll wheel, or right-click on it to bring up the menu bars with options to access various bookmarking, annotation, or formatting functions. Once youвЂ™ve chosen a book, it opens up a view of the text. You can also sideload your own EPUB files from directories on your computer. For example, clicking on вЂњMy Library: View AllвЂќ opens a broader view of your library, where you can click on вЂњAll,вЂќ вЂњBooks,вЂќ or вЂњMy FilesвЂќ to view different sections. Clicking on the title to any of these panes drills down into another screen with more options.

Launching the app brings up a multi-paned page with access to your library, or you can scroll the screen to the right (with your finger, or your mouse scroll wheel) to access several panes of Nook Store shopping options.

(It calls itself вЂњNook for Windows 8 v1.9,вЂќ but it works just fine on Windows 10.) Downloading and installing it is just as simple as installing any Windows universal app.ДЄs with any universal Windows app, Nook will work with both PCs and Windows mobile devices, though since I donвЂ™t have a Windows mobile device I can only review how it looks on my desktop. As a result, I still have nearly 200 titles in my Barnes & Noble library, and I might as well be able to keep reading them.Дownloading the app is simple enough: just click or tap on the Windows logo shopping bag on your status bar to open the Windows Store, then type вЂњNookвЂќ in the search box and it pops right up. IвЂ™ve had mixed luck with Barnes & NobleвЂ™s e-books through the years, but I used to be a regular customer-early on I figured I might as well keep buying from Nook, since it already had (most of) the books IвЂ™d bought from eReader and Fictionwise.

The last time I reviewed the Nook e-reader apps was all the way back in 2011, and a remarkable amount has changed since then. Given that weвЂ™re now in the age of Windows 10, it seemed like a good time to take a look at the Nook universal Windows app.
