I setup a new SD card using my account information, but need to remove my
gmail and insert the owners. I created a new account for the owner, and
really don't care about apps I may have used from market. I'll just re-install
them.
Where / how can I change the 'main' account Google is using to ID this NC?

So I recently bought a refurbished NC, should be arriving any day now.
I have read a bit about registering the nook (which I assume links it with your b&n account) and about signing in with google to get market, gmail, etc. (i'll probably run cm7).
My question is: I have a barnes and noble acct already with a couple books on it, let's call it "abcd+bn AT gmail"
I have an android/gmail acct I would like to use so I can share purchased apps and whatnot, which is "abcd AT gmail"
Google treats them as the same account, but I saw something about how they should be matched on the nook, so I guess I'm wondering which e-mails I should use to sign in where, or if it is possible to have both of these working at the same time.
If not, re-registering "abcd AT gmail" on b&n will probably be the preferable option because I only have a couple books and stripped DRM so I can transfer them over easily, they just won't appear in my actual Nook Library TM or whatever.
Thanks for the help.
If you use CM7, there is no need to register for a BN account. CM7 does not incorporate the BN Registration.
When you first get your NC, go through the start up process and sign into your existing B&N account with the same name and password that you would use if you were on their website. This will get you registered in the event you have a warranty problem later. After that, if you decide to root the stock ROM or install a custom ROM such as CM7 for market access you will use your regular Android account. At that point, if you install the B&N Nook reader app from the Android market you just sign in to your B&N account normally when you launch the app. Your B&N account and your Android account are completely separate.
Makes total sense, thanks
Looking forward to it!
From time to time I'll root a Nook Color for a friend (CM7). Right now I've got a NC to root as a surprise gift for a person who already has a Gmail account he'll want to use with it (I don't have his password).
Question -- Suppose I use an "extra" Gmail account of mine to access Market and install apps on the NC, then send the NC to his wife, who gives it to him. Can he then add his own Gmail account, delete mine and then use it normally or would the apps and setup I do be erased?
I tried this on my own NC just now. I added a second Gmail account and set up that account to sync. Then I tried to delete my original account. The error message said my original Gmail account couldn't be deleted because there were apps tied to it so I'd have to reset the whole devise to get rid of it. I assume that would undo much of the work I want done before I send the Nook off.
I believe, but don't KNOW, that I can't delete my original Gmail account because there are PAID apps tied to it. If that's the problem I'll be OK because I can set up the gift NC with only free apps. Does anybody have any good answers to this? I don't want to send a noob a Nook and then find out he couldn't easily use it because of Gmail issues.
This is my first android device and I was wondering if anyone has a solution for multiple users. I don't want anyone to be able to access my email or just freely buy things through the tablet itself using my account.
I have already signed into my gmail account without thinking about it, because it is required to do most things with the tablet. This then pulled up all my emails. Since this tablet will be used by several people, I deleted the account. Should I just make a new dummy google account specifically for the tablet? Since I already signed into my account, they have sent my $25 to my email. Now I don't believe I can transfer it, but I'm curious if I can add my email account when I want to buy/install something, then delete the account and put it back to the dummy account while still being able to use whatever app I bought?
I just don't want to test these things out myself causing some other issue to popup (eg use my play credit, but apps/games/etc can't be used on another account).
I needed to change the Google account in my NSTG but couldn't find an obvious way to do it from the existing apps or tools in my rooted device. Removing accounts.db from /data and rebooting seemed to do the trick - I was then able to add a new Google account by using the Market app. Mail, calendar, etc. sync, Google Talk works and installed apps can be updated via Market. I don't know what effect this has on the B&N account and on-line library as I don't use their services but at least the stock reader app and library continue to work OK.
You might have been able to do it through the Gmail app's settings.
Thanks. At least in the Gmail app that I have there's only an option to add an account. Maybe it would allow me to delete the old account after adding a new account but I'm not going to test that now that everything is working perfectly. If someone could confirm that - whether one Google account can be deleted if there are multiple accounts present - I'd appreciate it.
So, I originally got this root working under my regular, personal gmail account. Then I picked up a couple more nooks for a project I'm working on and realized, since I'm going to be handing these out to people to use, that having my personal gmail account on there wasn't the best approach.
New gmail account, and presto, I use that when setting up the new nooks. I added the new gmail to the original device too. So far so good. Now, how do I remove the original gmail account? Various googling has brought up a variety of ways to do this with a regular device, but those settings/options don't exist here.
Is there an app that will do this?
Also, since I'm only setting these up to run one particular app, that I load via ADB, it doesn't matter to me whether or not I retain Play market access.
Thanks

This would be very useful to know. I want to setup a new Nook for a friend and avoid going through the entire preparation and use my IMG to restore and then change gmail.
