Groupon has released an Android app and is now available to download in the Android Market. The deal of the day site said that after its latest iPhone update, it had a "ton" of requests for an Android app. With this app, users will be able to buy deals, access deals already purchased, and locate all deals nearby. Groupon said they are working on adding more features in the future, such as browsing discussion forums and a widget. If you are a fan of Groupon or great daily deals, download the app now.

 Barnes & Noble has released the Android version of its Nook e-book reader (an Android-based device, natch) onto the Market. The app is similar to functionality to Amazon's Kindle, and comes with a number of free "sample" segments of books. There are more than 500,000 free eBooks, and every paid eBook has a free preview. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the Nook is the ability to "lend" your eBooks to other Nook users. This is a feature the Kindle doesn't have, and really gives you the feeling of having an actual book on your shelf that you could lend to a friend. The app is free, and available for download now on the Android Market. The QR code and download links are after the break; click on the source link for the press release. [BusinessWire]
