This might be too unrealated and or too new of a topic or just impossible
Considering the new nook wifi is running android does anyone see a chance of getting sideloaded apps on there like the kindle app. I know someone who would love the new nook, but i don't think she could lose her kindle books.

What exactly happens when you try to open the Nook reader app?
self reading books on nook don't
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You mean like the children's read to me books? This only works in the stock app, not the Android app.
Yes the childrens books and some others, just says this book is not available on this device..... Is there a way around
As of today, the only way to read such 'enhanced' content is on a Nook device running B&N firmware. The Nook for Android apps won't work. This is one of the (few) reasons to stick with the stock firmware.
Hello,
I have been researching lately about e-readers and such.
I started off with Amazon Kindle and found very interesting the K Touch.
Then I found out about Nook and its Nook Touch (I would be interested in the one with GlowLight, quite cool).
I know that both Kindle and Nook have some sort of root/jailbreak.
I also know that Kindle has a very young jailbreak and it doesn't seem to have a very big community (yet).
I would like to know which one, in your opinion, has the best features available once rooted/jbroken.
And, concerning the Nook, know what kind of extra features I would get rooting the Nook.
I read somewhere that Nook has an expansion slot which allows to boot other OS from an SD: very interesting.
But what about apps? games? music player?
[This thread is very likely to make choose one device over the other]
Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone.
My Wife and I purchased some nook simple touches at the bargain price of £30 each.
Me being me decided that because they where running android, It would be rude not to root them.
I used the NookManager here :Nook Manager Link
and i also used :NTGAppsAttacks
I then proceeded to download the Kindle Apps 'app' from the market place on android and install it.
Unfortunately this Kindle app wont see the .Mobi files that are on the Nook.
I can still read the .epub files which are native to the nook using its own reader... its just i have a good stock of Kindle books on my PC as i used to have a Kindle before my wife decided to end its life with the heel of her foot after falling asleep, dropping it on the floor and forgetting about it.
Any help would be very gratefully received as i would like to continue reading my Game of Thrones book which is in .Mobi format.
Thank you in advance
Hello Everyone.
I am hoping someone can knock some sense in to me!
Im having some issues with my rooted nook and the kindle App.
Basically i have a ton of Kindle books from my old kindle (before the wife trod on the screen and killed it) that i want to read on my nook.
I was under the impression that if i rooted my Nook Simple touch and installed the Kindle App on to the device i would be able to read these files.
Unfortunately i seem to have no luck at all.
Could some one please help as im getting withdrawal symptoms from the book and the added issue that i now have to converse with the wife!
almost 100 views and no help. surely I cant be the only one with this issue?
What version Kindle App are you trying to use? As the ST is running an old Android version 2.1 then you have to use an old Kindle App. I think Kindle_3.0.1.70.apk is the right one.
I found the Kindle app that worked on the NSTs to be very limited. I prefer to convert Kindle books to epub using Calibre so I can use them with most any reader, dealing with DRM as needed to complete the process.

thanks for your input chaps.
this calibre software.. can it do bulk file conversions or would I have to wade through all my books one by one?
Yes, but you'll probably want to do some checking that the conversion has worked correctly, especially for any PDFs that you (try to) convert.
Calibre conversion is also my preferred technique as I use it to provide backups anyway. I just keep the old Kindle App on there as well in case I am away from my base station and access to the Calibre library.
Bulk conversion is very reliable I found and for regular Kindle books works well. Obviously you want to try one out to make sure you have the method right. You will need the Kindle DRM plug-ins for Calibre to do the conversion when uploading from Kindle but the translation back to ePub when downloading to the Nook is automatic.
Hiya,
I have some old Android tablets lying around, two of which are Kindle Fires. I'd like to figure out some use for them.
One thought is making one connected all the time to a to-do list app (like Google Keep) and have that mounted on a wall. I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions and getting an extremely barebones ROM on a Kindle Fire, but with the ability to login to Google and use up-to-date apps like Google Keep. Preferably it would be "pinned" that that app all the time. Wondering if there is a ROM that eliminates the launcher entirely and just goes to a single app (but with the ability to do full authentication with a Google account)
Thanks for any help!
This probably could be done - like you say, we'd need to have a non-stock rom that could utilize the tablet features of the kindle instead of the reader features.
I like the idea a lot!
I'll see what I can dig up, since I also have this tablet and would like to do that as well.
