Where do you place epub files so that the nook app will detect it?
I place mine on my uSD. Makes it easy to locate and use. Have not tried the Nook App as I find Aldiko more to my liking. Have read the Nook App "loses" files. Not sure if that's replicated.

Put them in the same place the app is storing the Nook books. If you don't have any yet, download a free book or free preview so you can see where it ends up.

That is if that is where her's are stored. I set mine up so everything was installed on the eMMC because I was having issues with the app trying to read large books off the card.
I use the app Overdrive for epub books. Great app and it works flawlessly.
Just my 2 pennies.
Actually, I placed the books on both the uSD ad eMMC, same.directories. Nook app still doesn't detect it. Ill be trying aldiko.

When you opened the nook app did you select my files instead of books? For some reason this is where the side loaded epubs will appear.

Mine would only read epubs from the sdcard so I suggested that directory as the most likely spot for success.

Guess many of us are finding little quirks in the Nook app.....
I gave up using the nook app altogether! I use aldiko now and It's very good.

Cool Reader is an excellent app 2 read epubs (and plenty of other formats for that matter). It also will pull and detect any book stored. You can even pull them from your emmc( w/o using root explorer to move them to sd).. I like it better than adilko. Only downfall is it supports everything other than PDF.oh..u can bookmark any page, and it formats any book beautifully to your liking in settings.
On my NC, Nook App won't work if there is no external uSD plugged in.
Just simple can't read anything from eMMC (or I don't know how to set it to look through other folders)

Uninstall the app, delete any folders it may have created, then go into the CM settings for applications and change the location apps are installed from automatic to internal. Reboot and reinstall the app. Then you can change the settings back and the app will now stay on the internal memory as will all B&N downloaded books, papers, etc.

I'm not 100% but 99% pretty sure that I had done that setup for my NC when I first installed the CM7 onto eMMC. I haven't checked back for long time.
I'll take a look at it and re-install the app and see what happens.
Thanks m8
Hope it works for you. I could not open any books other than small previews and periodicals until I did that.
I JUST (I mean literally an hour ago) rooted my nook color to cm7 and I too am wondering where to put my books! I have a bunch I didn't get from the bn store that are currently on my computer. I assume that the books I didn't buy with BN will be easy to transfer to Adilko, but how do you get books from your nook library into Adilko?

Anyone have the HBO go app? Its not showing up in the market for the tablet, but its shows up in my phones market. Unfortunately I can't use the app on my phone since its a droid 1, but I'd think the tablet would support it. If I dl it to my phones SD card, then put that SD card in my tab and move the app from the SD to the tab would this work?

Figures, the app can't be moved to the SD card. Anyone know of a work around? Or have the apk?

I sideloaded the .APK to my tablet and it says it won't work on my device (Iconia), nor does it work on my Droid1. Seems to like HTC devices

i'm lazy, so instead of switching back and forth, i just have another browser handy and pull that up when you want to go to sites that you know work better in desktop mode. ;D i have dolphin send a desktop ua all the time, the stock browser android.
I have been watching HBOgo and Cinemaxgo through the browser every since I got the Acer 500a. I was so excited to be able to watch HBO on "the go" on a bigger screen than my iPhone 4. I heard today that they are supposed to have the "Go apps" available for all platforms in ist a couple of months. I hope my ears were not deceiving me. It would be a lot easier.

Is it supposed to show up? Because they're not.
Quite annoying I have to open up Adobe PDF Reader, and search under there instead of just clicking from the Documents section. I mean PDF is supported, according to the Kindle Fire user guide.
I don't know if PDF files are supposed to be under documents. Why don't you move them there your self using ES File Explorer or Astro File Manager?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
I did. It's in the documents folder, and not showing. Was wondering if I was doing something wrong.
Might be a formatting issue on the PDF?
I put a few on the wifes totally stock and mine rooted with ADW EX and both have the pdfs under documents.

I don't think the Documents folder is where you should put your files because I went in that folder and I didn't see my Kindle Fire User Guide. All I saw were 2 files named Thank You Letter. And I have not touched the Documents folder since I got my Kindle.

The only way I have been able to get PDFs to show up in the "docs" area is to email them to my [email protected]. They eventually show up.

Yeah, currently if you port them via USB they should be in gallery.
I thought I saw something about it being related to the Metadata of the file, but can't find the link atm.
Well now that I've found it this is about ebooks going to docs rather than books. Guess it's possible that this is an issue here too. But emailing them seems easiest.

How do you access your Kindle email?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
You should just be able to hit sync and it should download your pending docs. You may have to fully power down and restart for it to work. I don't think there is a way to "access" that email as it just sends it directly to your Kindle.
Hi all,
My KF has been rooted and it has Go Launcher on it. However I can't open pdf file even it recognizes the file (the adobe acrobat icon next to the file name). Whenever I try to open the file, there's always a pop-up screen asking me to register to Amazon (I already created an account before but no matter how arduous I try, I'm not able to log in). Please advise

Well, If you do not want to take someones advice why ask for help?
only way you are going to use the kindles native reader is f you install all of the amazon system apps and have the core libraries functioning.... which can be done with careful mod work on cm7 but isnt worthwhile imho.

Thanks for your explanation, I guess I don't have other choices beside installing another pdf reader app then.
I have the above showing that its taking up 5GB on my Nexus 7, when I go to Settings > Storage >Misc files.
What is it? What app uses that?
Just wondering what to do about it.
Thanks,

Just a guess but may be for an RSS feed I would delete it if it takes up 5gb

Looks like it's for this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meecel.feedreader.RssDemonAd
Edit: Can't imagine for the life of me why an RSS feed app would take up that much space, unless it's configured to download and store content or something.

Correct. If you no longer use the app, you should be fine to delete the data. As the above post mentioned, if in doubt you may just rename or move the folder first to make sure nothing breaks.

I can't seem to delete the cache folder as there are too many files in the folder. About 20K I believe. Any ideas on how I can get rid of it?

What file manager app are you using? Maybe try a different one, I like solid explorer and root browser myself.
You might also try connecting the tablet to a PC and see if you can delete it that way.
Ok, so I just rooted my Nook Touch with NookManager a few weeks ago and quite new to the whole rooting process. When I first opened a epub, i pressed the stock reader as the default. Now, I want to set it to moon+ reader. How could i do that? Thanks

Reinstall moon+ (or install some other reader) and you will be given the opportunity to select a default reader again from all readers installed.

That didn't work . Whenever I download from web, it always opens with stock reader
... Or run Nook Color Tools (install it, if need to - quite useful one to have!) and go to All Settings->Developement->Manage applications, touch menu button on statusbar, filter->All. Then find your default app, tap it, and choose "clear defaults".
Yes, as described above, NookColor Tools is the way to go. You can only get it from XDA, however.
You can always fix it in /data/system/packages.xml

Wait? Does this work with the Nook Simple Touch (with Glowlight) as well?
Yes, it does. But you should read this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131971 , as there is one inconspicuous option there, that should not be touched, because it leads to automatic, inevitable factory reset.
On my nook, if I just add another reader app I get the chance to pick any default reader app again.
