B&N Nook v4.1.0 for iPad, iPhone Adds Account Management

nook iphone profileBarnes & Noble continued to keep us guessing about the fate of the Nook platform this week when it released an update to its iOS app. The new version of the app features improved  book listing pages, new settings options, and new ways to manage your ebook library.

But most importantly, readers can now use the Nook iOS app to create multiple individual accounts, including both parent and child accounts.

The profile option makes it possible to give each  family members their own customized library view and their own reading experience. Set up a profile, and each book added to that profile will remember the place where that family member last stopped reading, thus quelling any fights over missed reading locations when two or more people are sharing a book.

The new app is free in iTunes.  The Nook Android app has not been updated since the beginning of July.

Changelog

  • Create adult and child profiles so family members can each have their own customized library view and each book remembers the place where that family member last stopped reading

But no update for Nook Simple Touch in years.

This update is for the iOS app that is still being used by lots of people, not for a years old Nook e-reader that has fewer users.

It is easier to update an app for a smartphone than the operating system of a e-reader.
