Despite running Android 2.1, the e-reader (unless rooted) does not have access to app stores and lacks a browser with Flash.
The e-reader does allow for music and video playback (in MP4), however.
Alongside the update, B&N will launch its own App Store, similar to what Amazon has just done.
The leak comes via HSN, which posted:
