Hi all, I have small question about moon reader pro.
On my nook, I have small bug.
When I launch a book, my latest position is not correctly charged, I m positionned on the first page of the current chapter.
Did you have the same issu ?
(I have this problem only on my nook, not on my phone or my tablet)

Losing your current page is a well-known problem with the Nook.
It seems to be random but also related to incomplete metadata on the book.
Particularly books without an ISBN or unique identifier seem to do this more often.
I have this bug on all book and only on my nook. The problem can't be the book. Only moon reader have this problem

Oops, sorry. I thought that you were referring to the stock Reader.
No problem, it nice to try to help

Moon Reader: Last Page Read Not Saved
I was hoping someone found the fix for this, I have spent days rooting my nook and searching for Moon Reader 1.6.5b that works on Android 2.1, finally getting all my my bookmarks and highlights synced to dropbox with my tablet only to discover I cannot get the last page read to save.
My problem is the same described here. I tried Aldiko, and FBReader and a few versions of Moon Reader and none of them save the last page read. When I return to the book they all take me to the beginning of the chapter that the last page read is in but not to the last page. The strange thing to me is I could swear it was working at one point. The only thing I did was reformat my SD card and copy everything back and that seems to be when I noticed it but can't verify for sure now it ever worked but as much testing as I have done thought I would have seen it earlier.
I had forgot to reformat the SD card after rooting with Touch Nooter. It had a size of something like 65Meg on a 4Gig SD card and needed to the extra space. I may try to re-image to go back to the 65 meg to see if that fixes it but seems hard to believe that the size of the SD card would make a difference or the way it was formatted.
The nook is on 1.1 and I used the posted version of Touch Nooter on this forum. Outside of trying the different ereaders mentioned, I factory restored the Nook and rooted with Nook Manager. I moved the books to different folders on the SD card.
I was so excited to think I could sink my HP Touch Pad to my eInk NST and to my phone all via drop box but am very beat down with trying to figure what options to try next.
My books are purchased from Amazon, B&N, and Free Books from various sources and want to be able to use one ereader for all my side loaded books with the ability to sync/backup book marks, highlights, and last page read. Moon+ has been doing a fine job of this on my other devices that are on higher versions of Android so maybe it is the Android version but again I really thought it was working at one point.
I am stuck on Moon Reader because as far as I can tell it is the only one capable of automatically syncing and backing up on a rooted NST.

When you define a simlink directory, fbreader go to the targeted directory and not staying in the simlink directory.

Moon Reader last page read not saving
Thanks for the replies it would be awesome if I could get this working. I read the FBReader sync thread before I posted. I did not try this because it appeared to be solving syncing between devices. I do not have this problem. My problem is the Nook is not saving the Last Page Read or at least not Returning to the last page but returning to the start of the chapter that the last page read is in. Bookmarks and Highlights do the same thing, if I save a bookmark and then try to return to the Bookmark on the Nook it returns me to the chapter header not where the Bookmark or Highlight is in the chapter. I do not think I tried this on FBreader with Bookmarks and Highlights only noticed it takes me to the beginning of the chapter instead of last page read.
If I read a book on my tablet it saves to Dropbox with the last page saved and if I open the book on my tablet or phone it goes to the last page read. If I open that same book on my Nook it goes to the begging of the chapter of the last page read. So Moon Reader appears to be syncing fine with my Nook and other devices and all of my Highlights and Bookmarks sync between devices and show up on the Nook.
I did have problems with the directories not matching up and my Bookmarks and Highlights not showing up on my Nook though however I think Moon Reader managed this nicely but would have to test more. I think if the books on the Nook were in the wrong folder (not matching with tablet) if I removed all the books from My Shelf and then re-imported them when I opened them I think it synced to Dropbox and all was working again but not sure about that. Why I think this works without creating like directories on the Nook is that I put all my side loaded books in the sdcard\My Files\Books so I can open them in the Stock Reader. By default Moon Reader looks for books in the sdcard\Books folder but it can be pointed to a new folder. However now that I am writing this I am thinking that on my phone and my tablet I pointed MoonReader to the Nook app folder too so sync may work because of that. But I still think the directory names are different on the Nook than they are on the Android device Nook App on my tablet.
As I thought about this a little more my Nook was on on the 1.2 load when I was pretty confident Last Page read was working and was using Nook Manager. I thought I need the gapps for market so I took it back to 1.1 to use Touch Nooter. I may try to go back to 1.2 to see if that fixes my problem. I read a thread where the stock reader had a problem with last page read and something was said there the 1.2 was to fix it for the stock reader.
Thanks again for any pointers and suggestions. I do not see anyone else complaining about FBReader or Aldko reader not going back to last page read so something is off on my Nook. This thread was the only that seemed to match exactly with the problem I am having.

The way I read it:
Moon Reader on Nook cannot get sync position right.
It might be, the sync file format was changed over time and stone-age Nook MR cannot get it right anymore?

If you change/update last page saved (LPS) on Nook, do you get it right on tablet or phone?

Thanks for making me think to try this. I did more testing and would not thought of this but if I read a book on Nook MR close it so it syncs and then go to phone/tablet it syncs fine to the last page read on the Nook MR. The reverse also works, if I read a book on the phone close it so it syncs to dropbox then open it on the Nook Moon Reader it goes to the last page read on the phone not the start of the chapter. So, if I could somehow force Nook MR to always read from the Dropbox my last page read would work fine.
I think this is why I thought it was working at one time. I was initially only concerned to confirm syncing between Nook and other devices worked properly so when I finally thought that was working and tried to use the Nook as a reader like normal without testing the sync function I discovered the LPS problem for open/close/open on the Nook when I hadn't read the same book on another device.
The only time it has a problem with LPS is if I open/close/open a book on Nook MR with out opening/closing on an other device causing Nook MR to find the most current position on DropBox and syncing to that position.
I also tested some other reading apps on the Nook to be sure and FBReader and Kindle readers work fine with LPS. Aldiko works the same as Moon Reader. I also factory reset and and loaded 1.2 again with Nook Manager root which didn't change anything.
The only thing I can think to try is check what is happening with the local file save to see if it is updating and I can find where MR is saving it. Maybe if try to over write the Nook one with the one on the phone and see if LPS works it may lead me somewhere. My phone is on Android 2.3 but besides that there is no differences.
---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------
Worth mentioning also is that I confirmed the books do not have to be in the same folders to sync with dropbox and other devices. My phone books are in the sdcard\books folder while my nook is in the sdcard\my files\books folder and my tablet books are in sdcard\Nook\mydocuments\.
I guess it uses the name of the book or something to sync them.
The more I work with MR and see great little things like this the more I like it for my purposes if I could only get LPS to work on rooted Nook. I wanted an eInk device that synced to my other devices so I could read in full daylight as well as I got tired of the Apple mentality and the cost of there products. I use to use iBooks and then moved to Android and discovered I lost all my highlights and book marks so I have been on a quest to find a reader that allows me to side load books and back up my highlights and book marks that can sync to other devices and not be hardware dependent. This way I am only Android dependent but it should be around for a while.
Moon Reader Not supported
I am just posting this update for those that find themselves here looking for an answer to this. I traded several emails with the developer. He/She was very responsive even returned questions on vacation. After several exchanges and his/her return from vacation I was told the Android 2.1 was just to old and buggy to be supported.
I also have spent hours trying to work around this but try several things but the last page saved bug is just to deep. The go to % does not even work properly. I suppose if I never closed a book and always synced to the dropbox if I opened on another device it could work but just not realistic.
So, I guess I'll be using the stock reader for now and hope CM7 or an updated Android version is ported to the Nook but won't be holding my breath on that.
I'll post this on the Apps section too since it seems this thread probably belongs over there.
Another fallacy is when you move to the next chapter but go back one page it starts on the first page of the last chapter. The issue doesn't appear to be with the syncing the position, it appears to be with the app not holding on to any reading position other than the start of the chapter.

I have been reading a ton of threads on the CM7 rooting. My wifes Nook was rooted using AutoNooter. She maintains the Nook applications, but it sounds like with CM7 you do not. Are they not available stock while booted in CM7?
My nook will be here at the end of the week. I see myself using the tablet functions more than the E-reader functions, but I do like to read. What's the best reader to install to use in CM7? I have Calibre so format should be flexible?
First, CM7 is a custom ROM so it is already rooted and if installed to Emmc, you will loose the stock reader. That should not be an issue for you as there are several excellent choices for readers out there. I personally use nook for android, google books, kindle, and moon reader. All of them seem to work well for me. I have had CM7 installed since march and used the stock nook for a total of 2 days.
The CM7 install gives me all the functionality of the tablet I wanted and loosing the stock B&N software was a non-issue. Good luck which ever way you decide to go. There are many people here to help you out.

Thanks for the info! I was gathering that it was a complete change...still new to the Android scene...not a smart phone user and this is my first "tablet".
I am planning to boot CM7 from an SD card (read all the SD card threads and ordered a 16GB sandisk). Part of the reason I asked was because I am thinking about my wife's nook...I am not a big fan of how it works on the AutoNooter...but again I probably missed some key parts when doing that as I never fully understood what I was doing, I just followed the instructions.
access to the Kids books from B&N is one of the things my wife misses with her nook, she has only the one "read to me" book that it came with.
You definitely made a right choice.
Note: on your CM7 uSD, you can install the Nook app, but it's horrible, just to let you know in advance.

That's odd, the stock reader (still there with rooted stock) can handle the kid's books, but Nook for Android can't.

I may have miscommunicated...the kids books work, but she can't get them from B&N anymore (or something, I may not have been paying attention when she was talking...opps...)
You want Aldiko Free version, not the "pro/pay" version (it has some graphic bug).
It is absolutely the best E Reader, way better than the Nook app as well.
The only problem is that you have to add the books manually to the phone, I use Calibre to convert and add but you can just drag and drop them to the Nook drive when it is connected in USB mode if you are comfortable doing that too.

How else are books added? Most of my library is in Calibre. Is the format for Aldiko the ePub format?

I can't get books I copy over from my Calibre library to show in Aldiko. I copied them to the Nook>myFiles>Books folder on the nook (emmc) drive. I also tried the "ebooks" folder on the SD card where the 1 book in Aldiko is located (Jack London's)
Any ideas?
I found out how...good ole google search finally came through. This is about as annoying a way as there could be...I have 3K books in my library!
another site said:
Here are the instructions.. from the Aldiko website:
I was able to use the SD Card feature in Aldiko to import DRM'd Nook books on my Android Device.
At the Home screen in Aldiko, tap SD Card.
Navigate to the Nook folder on your device
Navigate to the Content folder within the Nook folder
Tap on the book you want to import (not on the check box, just tap the title)
You will be prompted to open or import, tap "open"
you will then be prompted for a username and password. The user name is the name on the credit card associated with your Nook purchase. The password is the credit card number itself, no spaces.
Once you have been able to open the book, go back to the home page and follow steps 1 through 4.
This time, when you are prompted to open or import, choose "import". The book will be imported to your Aldiko Library.
The reason I open before importing is that there is no password prompt when importing. I did find that once I had entered my credit card info for one book, I was able to import all of the rest of my Nook purchases without opening first, the app seemed to just need this information once

I can't imagine they were all purchased from B&N. If you're managing them with Calibre, I also doubt they're all B&N DRMed. Just drop them all in one folder, and import the whole folder using Aldiko like so: from Aldiko home, go to SDcard, navigate to the folder, longpress it, and choose Import.

Lost Wireless when I installed CM7 on SD 201 nightly
I lost my ability to use wireless when I upgraded to 201 nightly. YouTube also bit the dust. I am most interested in regaining the ability to hook up to my router or other wireless access points.
When 201 was installed, I had wireless. Then I installed a few applications and then I noticed YouTube was not working. I deleted Youtube and reinstalled but it was no use.
I shut off the wireless so that I could reconnect thinking a better connection might make Youtube work. NOW wireless would not hook up to my router at all. I deleted my router from the list of wireless sources and tried to find it again. Even with the Nook 1 meter from the router it could not pick up a wireless signal.
Next I saw in the discussions about the most recent nightlies and found out there is a bug. If you hit AIRPLANE MODE in the settings, you can not undo the choice merely by unchecking the box.
A potential work around was discussed, by using the terminal mode and typing:
SU
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
delete from system where name = 'airplane_mode_on';
.exit
I tried this but failed to get it to work. I may have entered it incorrectly but I don't think I did. The poster suggested copy and paste but that is not easy with no wireless.
Can anyone help me and others in my situation. How far back would I have to go in the nightlies to correct this and update to 201 again?
Not having wireless is a bummer.
UPDATE:
After my nook sat for a while I tried to hook up to wireless again. It worked! I don't know if it was the script for certain, but I did not re-install anything. I believe it was oldman_58 that resolved this for me. I can't respond to his post, but thank him nonetheless.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17811412&postcount=5111
The above link goes to his post on this issue.
Thanks Oldman!
Update 2:
Wireless is again missing. The only thing I can think of is to start over with a formatted SD card. If you know a better way please tell me. I am able to get wireless for short periods if there is an application that would help. I installed nightly 202 today, but it did not restore the Wireless.
I rooted my N2E, and played around with it a bit, using TN. Then I restored my unrooted backup, because I couldn't seem to find a convenient way to do the one thing I want to do.
I want to wirelessly browse my calibre library, and download books from it to my nook.
I don't care what method is used. Calibre's content server, dropbox, whatever. I just want a convenient way to sideload books from calibre onto my nook without plugging it in.
But I couldn't find a way that would be simpler than just plugging it in and using Calibre's 'send to device' command, so I unrooted and went back to my backup.
Did I miss something?
On my Nook color with CM7 I use the following setup:
- I set up Calibre to mount a folder as a device, pointing to a dropbox synced folder, so that "send to device" sends epubs to dropbox folder.
- I also use calibre2opds to create a dropbox accessible library to browse from any device (it creates also an HTML browsable version).
- on NookColor I use FolderSyncLite to automatically sync the dropbox folder with a folder on sdcard (eg Nook's MyDocuments).
Then I can use sync feature of Mantano Reader to keep its library in sync with dropbox calibre device or simply use Nook which doesn't need an explicit import to use books in its folder.
I plan to replicate this setup on my Nook Touch, which should arrive today
hello,
I'm using Samba server on nook. Then on Windows I mapped nook as a drive and set up calibre to sync with My Files folder. Works like a charm.
PS I'm new around here so I can not post links. Search market for com.funkyfresh.samba
I use a combination of two methods to sync my books with Calibre and reading devices:
Calibre Library in Dropbox -
Syncs between Computers, can download any Calibre book via Dropbox.
I use this for books I don't want to carry around all the time, school books, manuals, etc.
There are multiple apps which will sync specific folders in Dropbox with specific folders on an android device. One of these could work for automatic syncing.
Wired Connection -
I use this for a large updates of my devices library since it's faster than Dropbox.
When I want to immediately sync a new book to read that I've just obtained.
Oooh, goody

I know this is an old thread but just want to say thanks for spelling this out. some day I will try and mirror this set-up and may have questions
Do Aldiko and Moon+'s ability to add an OPDS catalog not work on a rooted NST?
I have a server in my basement hosting my library. I use CalibretoOPDS to generate both OPDS and HTML catalogs. It's a 'dead' list, in the sense that there's no decent searching, but I have access to it basically anywhere. I can expose it publicly as I'm using Apache and can easily password protect that directory.
There's a Calibre PHP app, that I may move to, just so I can search my library before downloading.
I also use FolderSync to move audiobooks, music, and pictures to my portable devices. I guess I could add epubs to the list if the above doesn't work.
On my server, I have a root folder for each mobile device, then subfolders for audiobooks, music, etc. I have parallel folders on my mobile devices. I run FolderSync on each mobile devices with 2 'folder pairs' for each matching pair of folders. One is SMB, runs locally every night, the other is SFTP, and runs only on demand.
To move something to a mobile device, I just copy it to the appropriate folder on my server, and everything happens 'automatically' - unless I'm on the road, at which point i have to trigger the synchronization.
BTW, for SFTP on windows, I'm having best luck with Sysax 'Multi Server'. Not open source, but you can get a personal use license for free. (As a side note, Aldiko, and maybe Moon+, allow me to specify a port, so I could, but don't currently, set this up to use a commonly-not-blocked port, like 443. I'll do this if I get blocked. FTP is often blocked, also BTW)
I do all this now for a smartphone and a tablet. I recently decided I wanted a specific-purpose reader with e-ink. The NST jumped right out as the right choice. I'm figuring I'll root mine as soon as I get it and so these same things with it, but I'm just planning to use it as a reader (well and maybe limited browsing as I sometimes do that with my library before downloading via OPDS).
Hoping this is more helpful than confusing.
Calibre settings
this seems to be the best place for this question.
I changed the settings in Calibre as to the sort title appending with a letter so I can have books of a certain type listed at the back-end of the Nook Library but they do not sort that way so I have to put the letter in the actual title does anyone know of a better way to sort books using the following set-up?
Nook touch rooted cynogenmod7
Nook Library
Using Calibre to load books with the generic android device (could not make the nook plugin work) would not send to the right place on the Nook

I have noticed with Calibre it actualy brought my B&N books into the Calibre library, some I can view some I cant. I believe the books I could view were the magazines.

Your plan is a good one. I have done similar. The biggest problem has been that the NST only runs Android 2.1 eclair, and many of my favorite apps seem to require 2.2 froyo or above. I've had to search around for equivalents in some cases.
Dropsync works very well for file synchronization, within the limitations of Dropbox.

I have a cron job on my home linux server set to grab select titles and move them into dropbox folders (e.g. magazines, newspapers). Dropbox on the server takes care of synchronizing them to the Dropbox cloud.
Each morning, I fire up my NST, enable wireless, and launch Dropsync to synchronize those specific folders.
You could, of course, just synchronize the entire calibre folder, but I like sorting things and limiting what comes down to the latest couple of days worth, so the cron job periodically deletes old stuff from the dropbox folders.
The other nice thing about dropsync is that it is two way. Files I delete on one device (I also have a NOOK color) get deleted off the dropbox folders, then off the other device when I next sync.
I'm using the stock reader, so no syncing of reading positions or any of that nice stuff.
Looks like I might be OK.
FolderSync supports "2.1 and up".
Tasker, "1.6 and up".
Aldiko and Aldiko Sync "2.1 and up"
Moon+ reader "1.6 and up"
EsFileExplorer "1.6 and up" (with a separate version for Cupcake
Root Explorer "1.1 and up" (!)
Dolphin HD "2.01 and up"
Looks like all apps I was thinking of using support 2.1. They may be utterly bad on an e-ink screen, though.
BTW, is that why you're using the stock reader?

I'm using Tasker to only fire up wifi when specific apps run. It works fine, but it is hard to determine whether an app is selected or not in the list. It takes some trial and error.

I didn't keep notes, but I recall that there were some ebooks that didn't format as nicely with other readers, or options that were difficult to spot on the e-ink screen. It's mostly just a personal choice thing, though. The other readers do work well.
I haven't heard that anyone has had a problem borrowing library books (with OverDrive) with the Nook 1.2.1?
I've not been able to open library books for a while.
The error message was "User not activated".
Re-activation with the Adobe Digital Editions on the PC proceeded fine but did not fix it.
Now I've got a fix that works fine. (No, stripping the DRM externally was not my solution).
Before I let the cat out of the bag, I'd like to know if this affected others and how they dealt with it.
I'm interested to know this all in depth because some of this might affect how many Adobe licenses you use up.
Maybe this thread would have generated more interest if I had named it "Hacking Angry Birds". :silly:
The stock Nook Reader uses two different kinds of DRM (Digital Rights Management a/k/a encryption).
One variant is for Barnes & Noble purchased books.
The other is the standard Adobe Adept DRM used for borrowing library books with OverDrive.
This is only about the Adobe Adept DRM.
It's not about defeating or stripping the DRM, only on getting it to work properly
One of the critical things on DRM is to identify the device.
In the file /media/.adobe-digital-editions/device.xml is such identification.
It is contained in a XML entry called "fingerprint".
Up to Nook version 1.1.5 this was:
fingerprint=Base64Encode(SHA-1Hash(<16 ASCII chars of /rom/devconf/DeviceId>)).
In Nook version 1.2.1 this is now:
fingerprint=Base64Encode(SHA-1Hash(<16 bytes of /media/.devicesalt>, <16 ASCII chars of /rom/devconf/DeviceId>)).
/rom/devconf/DeviceId is the serial number, something like "3000111122223333".
/media/.devicesalt is a random 16 bytes.
Exactly what it was put in to address is another question.
Who creates this snippet and when is not yet clear.
If you do an update from Nook1.1.5 to 1.2.1 and don't re-register anything you may still download books over USB and the desktop Adobe Digital Editions but they will not load.
Internally they will generate a mismatched fingerprint error and externally a "user not activated" on the screen.
Of course, if you re-register and perform whatever rewrites device.xml to agree with the new fingerprint, that will work.
The question remains, does this new fingerprint use up one of your allowed Adobe Adept device licenses?
This also ties into the Android app OverDrive Media Console.
That also uses a different fingerprint.
Besides the question of whether that uses two licenses for a single device, it also make it impossible to download a file using OMC and then read it on the Nook stock reader instead of the horrible OMC reader.
Questions, comments, answers?
Implemented & tested: A simple way to keep the same fingerprint after an upgrade.
Note: Yes, I know about Calibre and plug-ins, but that's not at all what I want to do.

It will, but I've also seen credible reports that Adobe silently expand your activated device allowance to deal with lost/sold devices. Only if you register a number of devices in quick succession will you hit the limit. Even then, people have managed to get in touch with Adobe by phone or email and have their accounts reset/manually edited. I've re-registered my Adobe DRM devices a number of times and haven't yet hit the limit.

Quite so. OMC and your Nook are two different devices as far as Adobe is concerned, along with whatever Adobe DRM-enabled readers you've activated on different devices.
So, to cut to the chase...
ReaderRMSDK.apk 1.2.1 is tied to Nook 1.2.1 and libpdfhost.so 1.2.1
You can't use mixed versions of these three things.
As stated, 1.2.1 uses .devicesalt which 1.1.5 doesn't use.
To patch libpdfhost to totally ignore .devicesalt:
Code:
/system/lib/libpdfhost.so 9,695,904
[002b647c] E593F018 => EAFFFFFF (little-endian)
You will have to (and want to) use the same fingerprint as before.
This appears in device.xml and activation.xml
I don't understand all of the tech notes in the thread, but back to the original question:
I have installed the Overdrive app on my rooted nook (1.2.1) and am able to download and read books in the Overdrive app itself.
However, I am unable to use the stock reader (which I would rather use) with books that I've downloaded (i.e., go out and find the EPUB file using a file manager on the device and launch from there). That would be a bonus if I could get that to work.
I haven't tried the "old" way of sideloading books from the Adobe application on my PC since I re-rooted my device.
Getting rid of UMS
I've kept to the standard and legit way of borrowing library books using Adobe Digital Editions on my desktop which links over USB to my Nook.
It uses UMS (USB Mass Storage).
UMS is pretty stupid. It shares computer volumes by just presenting the raw disk blocks over USB.
I have been using ADB (and particularly my utility adbsync.exe) for all my synchronizing.
The only holdout of why I still had UMS was for library books using ADE.
Here is how you keep semi-legit, use ADE and just do the connection to your Nook over ADB with WiFi or USB.
Take one of those too small USB flash drives that you have collecting dust, maybe a 256M.
Plug it in the back of your computer, out of the way.
Assign it a drive letter conveniently out of the way.
Create directory .adobe-digital-editions
Copy /media/.adobe-digital-editions/device.xml, /media/.adobe-digital-editions/activation.xml to the flash.
Run ADE, it should recognize your flash as a portable reading device.
Transfer your borrowed book to the flash.
Sync the flash to your Nook.
Read.
Oh, and disable UMS so you can use ADB over USB without disabling your Nook.
Code:
echo -n 0 > /data/property/persist.service.mount.umsauto

I am just finding this thread and am wondering if this may provide a fix for my vexing situation.
I am trying to run Mantano with my drmed books (both band n books, and overdrive). The DRM works the same as my normal android devices (nexus 7, Nook color, eris, and rezound).
However, when the app closes, the DRM resets. Oddly enough, Aldiko works fine.
I really like mantano's way of displaying the books accurately and the way it syncs notes and highlights, so I am kind of married to this app. So, I know I have asked before, but does anyone have any thoughts? This could be the beginning to figuring this out yes?

Renate,
Thanks for responding. This is driving me crazy.
What happens is that after I open the app, I can register it with adobe and read my overdrive books. I can also read my Barnes and Noble books by entering my login and credit card number (what they use as a password). This is the way they use adobe DRM.
But, when I close the app, it seems to unregister itself. After closing the app. (Forcing it to quit, waiting a long time, or rebooting the nst), I have to reenter my adobe or Barnes and Noble credentials in the app. With adobe, this does count as a new device each time.
Aldiko does not seem to have the problem.
I have taken decompiled Mantano and tried to figure out how to fix it, but cannot. I have also reached out to the company, they have not helped too much either.
I use mantano as my everyday reading app on my nexus, and want to sync my notes and reading position (which it does well).
Sincerely,
Leko
I don't know Mantano at all.
It has to save the credentials somewhere, apparently it's not.
Explore around
/data/data/com.mantano.whatever/databases
/data/data/com.mantano.whatever/files
using ADB shell
Is there something there before you shut Mantano down?
Is it still there later?
Is it wiped out on restart?

Renate,
Thanks a lot. There are some weird happenings indeed.
So, I browsed the folders, and did not get too far. Here is what I did...
adb shell ls data/data/com.mantano.reader.android
the folders were
shared_prefs
cache
databases
lib
files
In the cache folder was one file
WebviewCache
In the databases folder were three files
webviewCache.db
google_analytics.db
webview.db
In the files folder
licence
.salt
.mno002
.mno001
mantano
I tried to poke around with a database viewer but did not get too far. most of the databases were empty (I have not done much with this app since trying different versions. The only database that seemed to have data was the google_analytics, and none of that looked like password data.
Two more odd things.
There is a .adobe-digital-editions folder on the sd card. Mantano writes to it, because if I delete the folder, it is respawned with mantano mentioned in device.xml.
And, if I run aldiko, its registration seems to overwrite device.xml, but it can read from it (the source of the two reading apps are completely different.)
I wonder if it is a permissions error. The permissions on the .adobe editions folder are ---rwxr-x I tried to find a way to change that, but they do not stick because it is an sd card. 16 gig class 4.
Mantano also has a folder on the sd card with a database, but I am not sure that is where we need to be.
Thanks again for your help.
~Leko
Your SD card is probably FAT, which is why permissions are not really serious.
I think that you are getting all confused by alternating between Mantano & Aldiko.
(I've not even seen either of these.)
I think that they are both trying to store conflicting credentials in the same place.
The stock ReaderRMSDK.apk uses libpdfhost.so
libpdfhost.so has hard-coded paths in it for .devicesalt, .adobe-digital-editions/device.xml, .adobe-digital-editions/activation.xml on /media
See the start of this thread for "un-salting" the stock ReaderRMSDK.

Renate, I actually am not as confused between the two as it seems. I only installed Aldiko after I discovered the DRM issue with Mantano.
Beyond wiping my device, is the other fix for un-salting deregistering the nook? If so, I will try that next.
I think the sdcard is fat, but Mantano does not seem to acknowledge the /media partition. I wonder if that has something to do with the issue.

Well then just stick to Mantano.
See when the stuff in .adobe-digital-editions appears.
Back it up somewhere.
Close Mantano and open it.
See if the stuff is still there.
activation.xml has to be writable to add new books.

So, I deregistered my nook, and rerooted it. I installed es file explorer and mantano (nothing else).
If In delete the folder or the stuff in it, Mantano recreates it on launch (on the SD card). If I open a book, I have to register. Once I do, it works for a while (an hour or so it seems), but then asks me to re register.
If I move the folder while the app or books are open, it immediately recreates the folder and the three files, but the book needs to be re registered. I seem to get the same result if I move just the files.
I also tried disabling all of the bn apps in the nook manager with the same result.
I am at a loss.

Point #1: Don't deregister your device ever.
When stuff is working, backup the relevant directories.
When stuff stops working copy that back to where it was.
Using ADB stop or reboot is the safest/cleanest way to restart apps.
Every time you re-register it (probably) generates new salt.

New Nook goes backwards a version
With the new NG2 (the new white Nook) came a surprise.
/system/lib/libpdfhost.so (which is the driving force on the Reader) went backwards a version.
1.0, 1.1 and now the 1.3 has RMSDK9.2.1+/NDKr5 libpdfhost.so
1.2.1 has RMSDK9.3.1/NDKr7b
I wonder why they did that?
Hi
Sorry to post in an old thread, but this does seem most relevent to what I want to achieve.
I am struggling to read borrowed library books in Aldiko or Mantano readers on my NSTG rooted v1.2.1. I cannot login to my library using Aldiko, it just hangs - either a cookie or security certificate problem, I've tried workarounds listed on other forums without success. So I figure importing the acsm or epub downloaded using overdrive might be the answer.
I can checkout books in overdrive, open the .acsm file and read them in overdrive. But I cannot then open the epub using Aldiko/Mantano, nor can I open a brand new (different book) acsm file using Aldiko to generate the epub.
I don't have access to ADE on a PC so cannot transfer onto my Nook that way.
So ideally, I'd like to be able to simply open the epub that is generated when Overdrive on the NSTG reads the acsm file - or to fix the "hanging" in Aldiko when logging into the library website.
Is there any way of doing this? I've tried lots of versions of Aldiko and Mantano, old and new, without success.
Thanks!

Alright, so here's the deal, gwapenut. (Love your username, by the way - #GrapenutsFTW!)
The Aldiko login bug has been present since Aldiko first was installed on the Nook - it's basically an issue no one's been able to fix. (As you suspected, it's a security certificate invalidity) So, that option's out.
From my personal experience, you can only open borrowed OverDrive books with Aldiko/Mantano if you borrow them using ADE on a PC and then sideloading them onto your Nook - they don't open properly if you borrow them straight from your Nook.
TL; DR - If you don't have PC ADE access, you cannot accomplish what you are asking for.
Sorry about that.
I've just bought a new NSTG and rooted it via NookManager and installed NTGApps. However it seems that the majority of the apps via Market Place and Amazon Market just wont run.
Ideally I want to get wireless book syncing working (I believe it's possible via Dropbox and Calibre and another eReader such as Aldiko or Moon+ and also wanted to try and install ReaditLater/Pocket and RSS reader like NewsRob). However all these apps fail to load or install. Either saying their incompatiable with my device or simply crashing on startup. And after searching high and low have been unable to find any working APKs online.
Syncing books via an external SD card is inconvinient and when I've read books directly from the SD card the Nook reader never seems to store my bookmarks and notes. Which is annoying. Though maybe I'm missing something?
Am I going crazy and missing something as it's only a 6 months since this post was made and most of the reasons for rooting the device are redundant?
Seems like getting brand new Kindle might be the better option?
I had a few issues similar which I never bothered to resolve, a few months ago. NewsRob didn't work for me, although others have reported sucess (at least with GrazeRss, the replacement version).
One obvious potential problem, you need an SD card inserted for some things to work, and possibly some of the mount points might not match what is expected by apps.

Thanks for the RSS advice.
Did you find any way to wirelessly sync or get another ereader like Moon+ on it? I really like the feature of Moon+ that tells you how long before you finish the next chapter as well as the ability to read *.MOBI files. Little things but still a little annoying without them.
Wut? Just download dropsync and sync a folder of which you prefer. Dropsync worked, works and probably will fork for a lil' bit more. It's just like a charm.

Aweome. Dropsync works like a charm.
A lot of apps on market have been updated too much to often work at all or stably. hunt around and try some older version apks.
Older versions work much better Opera Mobile/Mini is classic example of that. Even though some relatively newer versions run they are not always stable.
Here is copy of old apk if you interested btw
Coolreader / FBreader / Perfect Viewer current versions on market should all work well on the NSTG.

Hello,
I am having trouble get took setup in manner I want for my family.
I would like option to access B&N books on the device so I need to use default reader however for all other books .mobi/,epub I much prefer to use cool reader as I can adjust the margin to avoid the light bloom at the top as well as various spacings to my preference.
Using nookmanager/relaunch, Renate's Simple Library.
If I chose a default app for .epub B&N are treated the same way. Is this possible to sort in manner I'm after by perhaps hacking around with /data/system/packages.xml?
Thanks

BN books are epub, but they are protected epubs (they use adobe drm). I think cool reader may be able to open them too, but the Nook stores them in a place the reader has trouble finding them. Because they are epubs, setting the default would be tricky (one app for downloaded epub, and another for purchased from BN, how would the app know).
I think your best bet would be to use Mantno or Aldiko which can handle all of your epubs because they support drm. Then,all the epubs are handled by one app, and all the mobis by cool reader. That is as simple as clicking the always do this checkbox you open the book from a file manager.
The alternative is to set defaults based on file location, but I think you will need another app running like tasker. Then, you can create shortcuts with a launcher and have the shortcut open the assigned book. The later is much more complicated.
Good luck,
Leko
Thanks for that.
I did try downloading the books from the website to PC to have a look at what format they were etc but could not find a way.
It is indeed the path screwing things up. They live it seems in /data/media/B&N Downloads/Books/ a directory only accesable to system apps.
Copying them to sdcard coolreader had no problem what so ever reading them.
I guess setting up a script to copy the books to another nonroot location would be easiest solution.

I do not know if this would mess everything up, but what if you changed the permissions on that folder?
It may well do messing with those permissions or at least cause the nook to reset to factory. Not something I am going to consider
I want to remove all the B&N crap stealing battery anyway so side loading the books to my sdcard is way to go and thats fine.
What I need to know now is how to get the books I've paid for in .epub format from B&N when the nst does not download them.
Part of my brain remember Renate does something like this using an Adobe product?
I will google abit after coffee and some Jelly Defense. If someone knows good method please chime in.

Good point. I did that with Nook color tools. Not fun.
To get the books...
Go on a browser (this may work on opera on the device, I am not sure).
Got to bn.com
sign in and go to your nook library.
right click on a book and download it.
Save it to disk. If you have A.D.E. installed it will want to open it.
Move it to your device.
Open the book in a reader which supports A.D.E.
Enter your login in password which is your full name (As they have it on file, spaces count but I do not know about middle names)and credit card you used to purchase the book.
Enjoy.
You should only need to enter the credit card once.
Good luck.

# right click on a book and download it.
This is the bit I was having trouble with. I see now its the difference between the UK and USA site. UK one only gives archive and delete where USA gives the additional option of download. Luckily USA site seems to honor my UK purchases now. It did not when I tried it long time ago I suspect they synced them because they accidentally sent a load USA nst to uk to meet demand.
EDIT: Works great. Downloaded, ADBed across (will setup Renate's adbsync for automation later), Renate's simply library app, opens with cool reader ^_^. Thanks
Only other thing to do on my todo list in this particular process is to change screensaver timeout on command line as I usually keep the 2min but if ADBing going into screensaver mode disrupts the connection either to sleep or wireless turning off.
You could try dropbox, then there is no need for adb. The current apk does not work. I found an old xparent version which does, but as you could imagine xparent is not so good on the nst. Let me know if you want it.
As for screensaver timeout, it is one of the options in settings.

It may also be possible to put a link in the default directory for coolreader and point it to the location of the books downloaded from B&N.

Link would inherit the permissions. I prefer ADB / adb sync for large merging of files as it can be done over my LAN not my very tiny pipe to the internet. I do use dropbox for other stuff.
