Has anyone tried to side-load/use the nook app on the fire? My fire is on the way, so I haven't tested yet. Coming from a nook, I really want to be able to carry over my existing library.
Also, has anyone found a good epub reader? I have a ton of unlocked epub files on my nook that I would also like to utilize.
When you get market running just down load the Nook reader. Or side load it. Works fine.
aldiko and fbreader are both great epub readers. There are many many more though. I can confirm aldiko plays well with the KF.
I did it, I installed directly from the Android Market. You could sideload it too.
The app opens, I can sign in, but I haven't been able to download any of my books to the Kindle Fire.
yes. It works.
edit: able to download and read free books. Can't seem to download the one purchased book I have from BN
I have been able to load purchased books no problem over the wire with nook reader.

the nook app works great for epubs, i was using aldiko but decided to try the nook app and like it much better. you can add all of your epubs super easy with something like root explorer.
Working great for me. I actually llike it better than the kindle reader. It is especially nice for magazines.
Yes. I sideloaded the Nook app and it works great. I did this before I rooted the Fire. You just need the apk
Has anyone tried copying the cache over from another device? I'm going to give that a try tomorrow to get my purchased books.
Edit: I downloaded/TB/Side Loaded the nook app on my fire and tried to download/read purchased books. So far I have downloaded and opened 3 books, I had previously purchased, without issue.

Hi, if I am running CM7 on my Nook Color will I be able to sideload .epub books into the standard SDCard:/Nook/MyDocuments folder and will the Nook app be able to find them? I just wanted to double check that people have been able to do this. Thank you!
EDIT: I should also ask if this is possible if the Nook Color has not been registered with B&N. I'm running CyanogenMod exclusively, so it's pretty much like running the Nook app on an Android phone I would imagine.

I don't know if Nook app will but there are apps in the market that work just fine... I'm using Aldiko, for epub, probably just because it came up first when i searched epub... not sure if it's the best one though
I sideload books into the Nook's folder and they show up in the Droid app but not in the actual Books section (under my files or something similar). However since B&N borked the latest client I started using FBreader for my non-DRMed books anyway.

I just loaded CM7 booting from an uSD Card. It seems that the ebooks folder is for the ebooks as there is a sample there. However I do not see this folder when the uSD card is in my computer. The question is how do I move my epub book collection in the Nook, ie onto the uSD card
[Later] Ok I just emailed the book I was reading on previous Nooter setup and I was able to import it into Aldiko; however there must be a better way. I have a 4GB card there and most of it seems empty yet Windows viewable folders are not viewable from Nook Filemanager. Ideas?
I use Overdrive for my epub books. Works Excellent!
Hey all. I have a rooted NC running CM7. I have alot of books side loaded on my NC. Ive noticed the Nook app has a hard time finding these side loaded books. It only finds them when they are on my SD card and even then it takes several minutes of syncing for them to be found. What is a good reader I can use that can read multiple formats? I want it to be able to find books anywhere in my NC i.e. SD card, documents folder, etc. What do you guys use? Thanks!
This could be good. How many of the coder types actually use the Nook Color for reading????

A lot of people use Aldiko, and/or Moon+ Reader. I like CoolReader, though for some reason it couldn't see books on the internal memory until several reboots after I installed it.
+1 for Aldiko
Works well, good layout, and can easily find and load books anywhere on the sdcard.

Well, some of us do. I'm even buying ebooks from B&N, if for no other reason than to thank them for making a cheap tablet for me to use!

I wholeheartedly agree and tell everyone who I recommend the nook to that I do this.
I've tried a few readers and I like the stock google one the best. Iw there a way for me to put the books on my SD card into a folder in the root of the tablet to read them via books? Thanks.

Unfortunately no, you can sideload your own with Nook though. I also like Nook because of the magazine subscriptions.
Now that I am rooted, I would still like to use it as a eBook reader, I downloaded the Kindle and the Nook App's to see which is better, what program is used to convert and send books to the device? I used to use Calibre but it wont read my nook anymore, any suggestions?
Calibre should still work just fine. I used it for several months with rooted stock and am now using it with CM7. Not sure why it wouldn't show up on yours, but I assure you it works great after root.
ok ill try it, I think the main problem im having is for some reason the nook show's up as a device on one laptop (doesn't have calibre and my eBook library) and it show's up on the one that doesn't... Usually 2 diff drives show up when i connect it..

ebook reader??? Read Books??? I haven't heard of such a thing on this device in say....................Well, I can't rememeber!
LOL-Sorry I had to chime in and say that!
Good for you, I do remember hearing that the nook can be used to read BOOKS!
Peace
Did you root stock or flash a ROM? If you've rooted stock, you should be able to use the original reading interface for epub, pdf, etc. The kindle app works great on it too, jsut drop the files in the kindle folder on your sd card. If you've flashed a ROM and you're computer isn't seeing it, make sure to open the notification and turn on usb storage to mount to the computer. If you still can't see your device after that, you'll probably need to reflash the ROM. (It sounds like calibre isn't recognizing it as a nook, which leads to scenario 2, and you'll just have to maually convert files in calibre then drag/drop or copy/paste onto the nook).
Drop books in updated calibre program on computer, start server on calibre, open calibre app on nook, connect to server, download book, import to kindle/aldiko/nook app::#winning

I flashed A rom (cm7.0.3) Ive been checking out the Kindle App but it's kind of slow but managable, I wish I would have rooted it the other way, thanks for the help either way

I use calibre, in combination with dropbox and Aldiko. I have calibre sync to a dropbox folder, and then I just use Aldiko to import the converted ebook. With the new versions of CM7 nighltlies, and wifi off, I have been getting good battery life as well.
Nook e-reader app
I downloaded the Nook android app from the market, but I can't get it to work with my CM7 uSD card boot?
Nook App update
My credit card expiration date had passed and I couldn't get anything to download to the NC through its boot or to the SD CM7 boot nook app. I updated my credit card info and I can download to both and the nook app works great, just like the one on my Droid X. Next I try to download an e-book from my public library.
Anyone willing to give me some tips on jpw to set up the app? I have several sideloaded books in the /kindle/kindle/ directory but they don't have cover art. Anyone know how to get the covers to show? I'm on cm7 rooted. Rom is barebones cm7

anyone have any insights? or can you possibly suggest another reader that can read mobi and pdf
aldiko is a fine one - and moon reader if you like it more complicated

I have not found a way that works 100% of the time, but for some reason if I use e-calibre to copy something to my kindle, then the cover art will usually show up for the books that I side loaded previously. The art will show up for everything except the last book loaded.
I haven't tried it since I went to cm7 last night. I was planning to see if it works when I get home.
i ran the mobis through calibre but with my settings as a android tablet running kindle reader app. put the books on my kindle was still getting no coverart on the reader app. gave up went for a beer, came back and the covers had loaded. guess it's a slow sync with amazon in order to pull the covers
I put the mobi files in the kindle folder and after unmounting/remounting the sd cafd, they work fine and show cover art. For pdfs, the adobe reader works fine.
