Thank you for your response. I have since learned from other postings what I needed to know about the still unfulfilled Nook application. Regarding my two inquiries, as a very new member of the Surface community, I was in process of learning the protocols of posting. Not understanding a few of the stipulations on screen, I thought better of posting what turned out to be the first post, and I decided not to complete it. I had no idea that I had indeed posted it. I cannot say that I am happy about having been admonished for so unintentional an error, but at least one my two questions has been satisfactorily answered.
