I guess that only works with the stock Nook library. I'm running rooted stock and it automatically adds a book to the library when I drop a new epub in that directory.

I purchased a magazine subscription from the nook store and it wouldn't show in my nook library. I called BN support and they said that it was an ePub file (not a PDF) and it seems like my device doesn't support ePub files. All other nook purchases are showing up in the library. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app with no luck.
Does anyone know how to get ePub support on the device or a way to make this work?
Nook doesn't allow you to download and transfer the file from another device.

On the NOOK app I've noticed Epub files need to be side loaded which basically means manually copying them to the nook directory into my documents. Also, the nook gets a bit retarded at times and will crash anytime you try going into my documents, if this happens you need to go into settings -> applications -> nook and clear data
Not sure I understand what you are asking but Aldiko is a free reader that will do Epub files. It is in the market.

Thanks. I just went back through the order process and saw that it says it is only available on nook color. Probably wouldn't work with a sideload.
Are your tablets rooted or where did you find nook reader?
I installed the nook app and subscribed to a mag and it shows and I was able to open it.

Which title? Customer service said some would/wouldn't work. Some titles will say that they are only available on nook color.

Does anyone know how to sideload the cover art? I have a ton of epubs sideloaded and they work great just can't get the cover art to show.
...just bumping this to see if someone can give more detail on nook magazine subscriptions on the g tab. Almost all titles say that they are exclusive to the nook/nook color. My attempts have not been successful.
Please let me know the titles you have tried and how you got them to work. The step by step would be a useful reference for others considering the g tab as well.
Thanks!
epub files are just easier dealt with in fbreader. Available in market.
Not as flashy as Nook, but much more user-friendly.

I use Readers Hub with Zinio to read magazines. Go to Zinio.com and sign up and purchase subscriptions to the magazines you want and you can read them on your gTab.
Here is where you can get the apk files for these apps.
click here
Force closes with the standard Zinio apk.
Use the fixed version for the GTab.

(5 months later...) The nook app has been updated to support magazine and newspaper subscriptions as well as user ePub files.
Yeah, works great for me! I'm loving being able to read magazines on this color display as apposed to the terrible magazine support on the standard Nook. A few bugs, but mostly going without a hitch.
Hi. I just received and rooted my nook color using auto nooter (with the 1.0.1 firmware).
I have noticed that I can only share paragraphs or reviews of books from B&N, and not from the ones I sideloaded with calibre. Is this OK, or am I doing something wrong? Maybe in the process of converting my books from fb2 to epub there is an option that blocks that feature…
Thanks
Looking for a way to sync personally loaded epub across nook and nook color. Anyone know of a way to transfer bookmarks?
if you're rooted and can use fbreader on both then you can use fbsync. you can grab it from the market or in the apps sub forum. made by one of our own members.

I use aldiko and calibre. Calibre has some real nice features
Edit: Not sure about bookmarks.
Since I'm getting a Nook STR soon I just wanna find out if anyone successfully install the Calibre Library APK onto their STR? If yes does the stock nook reader able to pick it up?
My only aim is for the STR to have a way to access my Calibre Web contents and can search/download my ebooks over wireless connection rather than plugging usb.
I have installed Calibre Library on my Nook STR, and it works fine, but I'm using it with Cool Reader (I'm not a native english speaker and Cool Reader allows me to add a customised dictionary).
My guess is that you might make Calibre Library to work with stock library by pointing it to download your books into the stock reader's folder (which can be found by choosing "more" from within a book you've opened in the stock reader).
I hope you get to understand this last phrase
Thanks for the insight

Folks- I'm interested if anyone reads magazines on their nook HD+.
I downloaded some PDF magazines and I'm trying to find a good way to read them. The text is very small and zooming is a pain.
I downloaded a sample magazine from nook store, and it worked great it even had an article view.
I downloaded a free magazine from Google play magazines and again the text was really small and hard to read.
Any tips - am I missing something? Do you just have to zoom in?
I use the google magazines app for Motorcycle Cruiser. I set it to text only and it is perfect for reading the articles.
1. Open mag
2. Single click in the middle of screen
3. Top menu should appear
4. Choose option "view text"
To revert follow same steps and choose "exit text"
Hope this helps
Thanks for your reply - I missed that option in Google magazines.
It doesn't allow you to side load your own magazines unfortunately, so I'm still trying to find a good way to view pdf magazines.
I use adobe reader for side loads. You do have to zoom but it refreshes pretty quick.

I wish someone would figure out how to get the Stock ROM NOOK app working in CM. I have a couple mag subscriptions and the difference in the magazine reader is HUGE. That is the only thing I use the Nook reader for. Does anyone know of a way to open B+N purchased magazines with another app?

First, the nook reader itself is what makes the magazines so awesome. I'm not sure that, even if you were successful in opening the magazines in another app, that they would be the same.
Second, the magazines are stored in a root only access area so you need to be rooted to get at them (/data/nookmedia).
Third, even if you got to the files, they are probably DRM protected so other apps could not use them. You should be able to use DRM removal software to free them up though.

Are books stored in /data/nookmedia also?
The reason I ask is because I transferred a lot of epubs (drm free) and they appear in the library as files, they do not appear on the Book shelf. I would like them to appear as books (which they are).
Solution: root and copy them to the /data/nookmedia folder?

Yes books are stored there too. But I don't know if your proposed solution will make them appear in the library. I guess you could try.
