Does BN Shop work for you? Are you able to download book samples, for example? I subscribe to a daily newspaper and several magazines, so I won't be staying where I'm at for long...I don't want to go without those.
You know, I haven't tried 4.6.16a... I've just been using 4.6.16. If I could at least get BN Shop to work, I'd be in a bit better position. I'll have to give that a try and see what happens. Oops! I meant to reply to the following post, not here... =)

Good luck.

I'm on 4.5.18 not 4.6.16a. I had horrible luck with 4.6.16. On 4.5.18, everything works fine except for some permissions. I may have messed the permissions myself because they worked for a while.

Downloads are fine.

Interesting... I'll try going back to 4.5.18 next. I tried 4.6.16a and no luck--exact same issues. We're also trying my husband's this morning--with 4.6.16a first. His device was just recently reset back to stock and updated back to 1.3 and 4.6.16a. He has a standard build.prop unlike me, too, so we'll see if we get a different result, but I'm not expecting to.
Just for reference, the only difference between 4.6.16a and 4.6.16 is 'a' has the change to build.prop that 4.5.18 was supposed to have and 'a' also includes a script to update the database to block OTA updates.
The main difference between 4.5.18 and 4.6.16 is that 5.18 has an earlier version of the market (1.8 vs 2.3.6). After the 1.3 update came out it was found that installing the earlier version first (via 5.18) would then allow 6.16 and the newer market to work. At least for some. Some people reported going straight to 6.16 worked fine, but it didn't for me.
The main difference between 4.5.18 and 4.6.16 is that 5.18 has an earlier version of the market (1.8 vs 2.3.6).
The main difference for me (and why I never used 6.16) is that it came with a different kernel. In my opinion, this was bound to create problems as B&N introduced newer versions (eg, 1.3 and 1.4.1) with potentially different kernels.
Please do not send me private requests, so that:

I generally ignore such requests.
Ah - you're right. Forgot about the kernel. That's why I used Dalingrin's O/C kernel, which he rebuilt based from 1.3. I never had any problems using 6.16 with Dal's kernel.
If I knew how, I'd crack open the stock kernel that comes with 1.4.1 and see if it's different than the stock one in 1.3. I think there are differences, so I haven't made the leap on 1.4.1 and dropped Dal's kernel in again.
Can some people give this updated version a try? Just install this after a fresh upgrade to 1.4.1, no need to install any prier version. I can’t possible test everything out, so I need people to report back with any problems that they run into.
* This does include the program HomeCatcher.
* It includes my flashplayer fix, so you should not run into any problems updating adobe flash or air.
* This will install android market v. 2.12, but will then upgrade to the current one.
* On first boot, make sure you select the zeam launcher as default.
* This does NOT have the added kernel file.
* Don’t consider this a released version.

By fresh upgrade to 1.4.1, do you mean immediately after the applying the update and not trying any other nooters? Can I run the 1.4.1 B&N update over my nootered 1.3 and consider that a "fresh" update?

I figured, what the heck, I'd just try applying this update on top of the 4-12-16-test update that GabrialDestruir provided as a test to resolve the issues with downloading from Market and BN Shop...cuz I could always go back...and Voila! As soon as I rebooted, my pending Market and BN downloads started processing!!!!!! Yay!!! You're AWESOME!
I'll test more and let you know if I see any issues.
THANK YOU!!!!

Okay. Now that I've calmed down from all of my excitement... Here's my experience...
1. I started from a 1.4.1 update that had been MN to 4.6.16a and then 4-12-16-test.
2. I wasn't prompted to select Zeam launcher. I had already installed HomeCatcher previously.
3. My Market was already at the latest version...and it stayed at that. Downloads work perfectly!!
4. BN downloads work perfectly!!
5. Gmail works.
6. Installed Adobe AIR from Amazon Appstore perfectly!
7. Rebooted.
8. Whole new, cool "welcome" screen.
9. Had to reset my wallpaper with Wallpaper Wizardrii because it was no longer filling the scree.
10. Everything else is still perfect!
