I have just installed cyangenmod 7. I have enabled market and installed the Barnes and Noble nook app. I noticed some e-books give an error that they are not supported. I get this for the pets book that was auto added to my library. It worked on vanilla 1.2. I am thinking there is a nook color specific app that enables opening more book types. Is this true? Can I install this app on cyengenmod 7.0.3?

Nook Color is sold at both B&N (Barnes & Noble) and BAM (Book A Million). Both inform you of Andriod download version.
I've downloaded Nook software from Market place. It prompts (1 time) to login to B&N. I did. Works fine. I also have an account at BAM.
How do I get back to the Logon screen so I can logon to BAM?
It would be great if the books I purchased from both B&N & BAM show in the same reader (Nook).
Have you tried the Nook app to see whether you can dounload your BAM books? I'm not familiar with that retailer, so I don't know how that works, but the B&N books are downloadable to the Android Nook app and work just fine.
I can only get it to work with B&N.
I bet you that this version of Nook software was written to allow only dealing with Barnes and Nobel and not with B & M...only one account.

If I root my nc will i be able to use the nook app to read magazines? It says in the market the app supports magazines on high res tablets. Any help would be greatly apprecitated.
Yes it will. The latest Nook udate included this feature. I believe the only thing the Nook app can't do that the native application can is "Read to me".
Nook App Problems
I recently had a friend help me mod my NC, and one of the first things I did was download the Nook for Android app and try to log in to my Nook books account. My friend was able to log into his account and read a magazine on his nook, however when I log in I have only 11 books in my library and none of my magazines. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app a couple times. I've also tried signing out and signing back into the program but it only retrieves the same 11 books. I'm really pissed that this isn't working, I really bought the NC as an eReader and was pleasantly surprised to find out about this mod. If it can't do this simple task I might just reset it back to the standard NC. I like the things this mod has opened up and I hope it works out but I really just want to read my books now and I can't.
I'm a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff and I need some kind of step by step instructions when it comes to troubleshooting things.
Thanks for all your help.

I have a nc rooted running cm7, I have nook app from market and kindle app...kindle works, self reading books on nook don't.
Do I need something more for them to work, like I'm missing an app or something
Anyone have any clue?
Maybe some more details would help?
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.
Hi I'm new to the forums. I have a rooted Nook Color with CM7 (v.7.2). I am currently using Aldiko to read ePub books but would like a few more options. I remember when I rooted my Nook before it still had the Nook Book reader that was built into the original OS. It had a lot more options or presets like fonts and paper background. Does anyone know or can point me in the right direction to get this app on my CM7 Nook.
I have looked on the net for a while to no avail. I could find the Nook App which is B&N version of Kindle but it's not available in the UK.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
There is no option to run the stock app under CM7. The Nook app in the Android Market is the only option. Also, the market app is not a B&N version of the Kindle. They are completely separate apps in the market. Is this what you want then? http://www.mediafire.com/?wr4w53d735rb0w4
If not, just google Nook android reader 3.0.1.10 apk
Hi thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded the apk for the nook reader 3.0.1.10. Not sure if this is what I'm after (haven't checked as I need an internet connection to log in first of all on the app). It was the stock book reader that was on the Nook menu on the stock Nook 1.0.
I will try the app you suggested and report back once I connect to Wifi. Maybe B&N have incorporated the features I want in their app on market.
Do you know off hand if it can open your own ePub books and other formats (i.e. books you've not bought/got through the B&N store?
I have recently updated my nook color to the latest stable cyanogen mod, 7.1.0. Previously, I had my nook color simply rooted.
When I got to the Google Play website, it shows my devices and the compatibility with certain apps. I have found that I now have two entries for my nook color:
1. Bn NookColor
2. BarnesAndNoble NOOKcolor
The second one has the compatibility with the apps, but the first one does not. It seems that I am currently using the first entry since I can't download the app in the market.
Is it possible to change this model "number" I guess to the second one, or another way to get compatibility for these apps? I do not understand what has changed between the two.
My nook color previously was running software 1.2 when I rooted it and accessed the market for the first time...
Thanks for any tips!
