    Several Duo 11 owners have posted one-star reviews of the Barnes & Noble Nook app saying that the app takes you to a black screen instead of a book when you try to open one of your books. Swiping from the bottom brings up the appropriate reader toolbars and index, so it's not crashing, but the pages are all black instead of displaying text. As far as I can tell, the Vaio Duo 11 is the only device where this bug happens. Does it happen to all Duo 11 owners here? Anyone know what we can do about it?

    If you've got a Duo 11, you don't need to buy anything to see if you've got the same problem. Download the Nook app. Create a free BN account. Then download a free book (Bram Stoker's Dracula, for example) and see if you can open it.

    That's exactly what I'm experiencing, and what two other Duo 11 owners who posted one-star reviews of the Nook App reported.
