Are you one of the many infuriated with Barnes & Noble over how it partitioned the storage on the Nook Tablet -- leaving you [just 1GB][3] for you own files? Well, it looks like the company has learned from its mistakes. While only about 5GB is free to load with apps and media on the new [8GB model][4], just 1GB of that is reserved for Nook Store content. B&N is also offering to retroactively fix the 16GB boondoggle as well. If you visit a brick and mortar shop starting March 12th, a support rep will gladly help you repartition the internal storage, freeing up more than just one of the 13 available gigabytes for personal use. Having to bring it to the store _is_ a bit of pain, but we suppose it's better that getting stuck with 12GB of _Angry Birds_ and e-books.
