Barnes & Noble on Friday announced a software update enabling its Nook HD and Nook HD+ devices to access content at the Google Play store. This opens the Nook to more than 700,000 Android apps and games, as well as millions of songs. Nook users will also get Google services with the update, including the Chrome browser, Gmail, YouTube, Google Search and Google Maps. One app in particular may be game-changing. Users now can install the Amazon Kindle app on a Nook, which means B&N loyalists will be able to buy e-books from Amazon.
