I had about 5 books from Amazon and sideloaded thru Calibre. They have all disappeared and when I reload thru Calibre they still won't show up. Has anyone else had this issue?

Nope, nothing is working... I may just have to do a factory reset...

I have a magazine subscription through B&N and the magazines won't open properly on my SGT. The app opens, but I am left with a black screen. However, when I click on article view, the text opens.
I installed this app a couple of weeks ago and it worked perfectly. I was able to download and read all of my books and magazines. But about a week ago I started having this problem.
So today I uninstalled the Nook app, then downloaded it and installed it again. But I am having the same problem (btw, I do not have Touchwiz installed).
Is anybody else experiencing this, and is there a fix?
Nook app works fine for me with magazines. No problems at all.
same here, no problems with nook app and magazines even after touchwiz. Try uninstall and make sure you delete the cache or data files that sometimes linger behind.

I tried this several times. There were no cache files but I did delete the data files and uninstalled. I downloaded the app again and installed, then had to sign in to B&N. All of my magazines and books showed up. But when I tap on the books, they show up on the screen and can be read. But when I tap on the magazines, I get a black screen. Like I said before, I can read them in "Article View," but don't get any pictures, even in article view.
I just installed nightly 253 for my Nook Color with gapps 20110828, and every time I try to download one of my books to my device, it says "download interrupted," and then it said I had too many registered devices. I deregistered my phone, and for good measure registered and deregistered my PC, but it still will not let me download a book to my Nook. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well. I'd welcome any suggestions.
I was going to suggest reinstalling the app, but see you've already done that. Try installing the kindle program to your PC and see if it works. If not, there may be a problem with your acct. If it does, then we know the problem lies with the nook.

Thanks, but I forgot to mention that I already tried the PC app, and it worked perfectly. I even tried going on the Amazon site, and send the book to the device - no go
mindwave also just posted in this forum with problems downloading from Amazon. I wonder what the glitch is?
Not sure if this will help you or not, but I had the same issue. What I ended up having to do was go to the Amazon Website, go to my Account Settings and de register some of the devices I had my book downloaded to. For example I had my book load to my PC, Nook Color, I Pod touch, and wanted to add it to my new Tablet. I took them off my PC and Touch, but it kept giving me an error msg. So ended up going directly to the Amazon site and removed the PC and Touch. No Problems after that! Downloaded to my tablet beautifully!

OMG THANK YOU! This did the trick. I had a ton of devices on their - guessing from rehacking and unhacking my nook several times.
I just got a Kindle Fire for my wife and it is linked to an already existing Amazon account, with a valid Credit Card linked and working fine with books.
When I try to go into the App Store it lets me in but I can't download anything. I can't even get into the "MyApps" section. A box pops up saying "Authenticating" but then goes away, and it goes back to the screen I was just on.
I noticed this issue out of the box and did some research where people made some recommendations such as "Clear Data" from the App. That didn't help, neither did a factory reset. I was hoping that rooting it and uninstalling the App Store app would help, but it didn't.
I figured I would try to turn off the in-App purchasing to see that might help but it would not accept my password. Hmmm Odd, I wonder if somehow this is holding onto an old account, since this was a refurbished Fire.
Personally I could live without the Amazon App Store and the Stock Rom, but my wife really wants it setup and wants to preserve the look and feel.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
I had that same thing. For me the problem was that I had too many devices registered with the Amazon App store, since I frequently reinstall ROM on my tablet.
There are two places the Kindle gets registered. One is under Mange My Kindle and the other is somewhere within you app store settings. I removed all my devices from the Manage My Kindle area but that didn't fix it. I actually had to call Amazon and they removed all my device registrations from the App Store portion for me, but they said I would have been able to do it myself if I had gone in there.
Sorry I don't have the specific directions to the link. But you should be able to find all your associated devices in you App Store settings online and delete them. After doing this I just restarted my Kindle and the app store worked like a charm.
Thanks that was exactly it. I have a Gtablet and 4 Android phones that get flashed all the time. I went in and deleted them and it fixed the problem.
The path to get to this section is:
Amazon Account settings -> Android Apps & Devices -> Your Devices
And start de-registering devices no longer needed.
I like to read on the N7, and initially, there were some of my old books marked properly with the blue dot (available for offline reading).
I recently purchased a new book. While it downloads in a heartbeat on my other Android devices, on the N7 it's been stuck at barely a blue hint on the pin circle. No change in days.
I clicked on the other pins, and all I managed to do is make my books now UNavailable for offline reading - and they are not downloading anymore.
Has anyone here had a similar experience? If so, did you find a way to fix it?
They have done a little behind the scenes fixes because of a few interactive magazines not downloading. I've emailed them about it and a few days ago they emailed me back saying it's fixed and recommended clearing data and cache on the play magazines app. It fixed my issues.
Thank you! I'm going to attempt that.
Fixed

Thank you again for your suggestion! Here's how I fixed my issue:
In settings, I located the Play Book app. There was no way to clear the cache, but I was able to uninstall the updates and restore the app to the original factory settings.
Then I opened play books again, chose my Google account, and all my books downloaded very swiftly.
Glad it worked out for you you are probably good to update it to the latest version.
Hello, so managed to bag a Nook Read Touch Simple for GBP30 and have got it rooted and market installed etc.
Also have been able to successfully install the Kobo app and download a book from it. However when I try to read a book from the kobo app, I get the swirly Kobo thing, the screen goes black and then it pops back to the Kobo app menu.
Anything I can do to get it to work?
Thanks in advance!!

You need an older version of the Kobo app. I'm successfully using 2.7.617 from an old personal backup from one of my previous Android phones.

You need an old version of Google Play Books too; 1.5.4 is working for me, and, IIRC, the latest version that works.

Thanks again, tried that version and an earlier version, however I just keep on getting the swirly wheel on the books. Some book so work if I enable "original content" or something like that, but the quality of text isn't the best.

I can't post URLs because I'm too new, but if you do a Youtube search for "Updated Kobo App Now Works on Nook Simple Touch March 2012" there is a video with a working Kobo app link. You may have to expand the first comment to see it. I've installed it on my Nook Touch and it works fine. I don't think it's a modded apk, just an earlier version, so you may be able to get it elsewhere.
