B&N eReader annoyances

I've been fairly harsh about some of the work that needs to be done in the nook. My future features wish list is fairly long. I'm very upset about the fact that pre-orders are not reflected as such in the 3G store. I've noted that English language literacy may not be their developer's best quality. I've noted that their RMA replacement tracking information isn't. In fact, I know I've posted other gripes, but I think the point has been made.

So, in a refreshing break of complaining about nook - I'll complain about the B&N eReader app for the iPhone/iPod Touch. For one thing, while I dutifully entered my credit card to unlock The New York Times, and that let me read it on any day (it unlocked the entire subscription), apparently you need to do this each time for every book. No thanks, too tedious. How about letting me sign into the application, the same way signing into a nook let's you read your books hassle-free.

The eBook reading layout isn't without flaws either. On the right hand column, there's a nifty A-Z picker, clicking on any letter will instantly flip the list to that letter. Unfortunately, in edit mode, where you would remove books (it's really an archive, not a delete, so that's strike one for the wording), the A-Z list gets in the way of the delete button. If you click the right hand of the button, you'll instead scroll the list. Test much, Barnes and Noble?
