You can turn the Nook Color into a fully-functional Android tablet, but conversely you can also read Nook books on other Android devices through Barnes & Noble’s Nook app. Now Engadget reports that B&N has updated that app with a number of minor features including a library grid view, book download progress bar, and wish list. Barnes & Noble also promises a Honeycomb app will come out sometime this spring.

Between this and the recent addition of Google Books to the Android market, Android is starting to look more and more like a viable alternative to iOS for e-book lovers every day.
