You must be. I see all the magazines - I'm using CM7. I got a free esquire a couple of weeks ago when someone mentioned subscribing with a PC. I was able to download that magazine with the new app. Newpapers don't work.
Adios, stock rooted!!! Hello "The Economist" on CM7.
I'm a happy, happy fellah today!
this is great stuff, no more having to go back for pc gamer magaine

Yes!
Great news lads, thanks. Just got the update on HCv3.
Children's speaking books
Doesn't appear to work for the sample "The Elephant's Child" speaking book.
Gives error "File type not supported"
The children's books are still not supported by the app. At least the ones that can read themselves to the kids.

Something I can definitely live without (at least for the time being). There are a bunch of similar interactive books sold as apps in the Android Market.

Can you elaborate a bit more, please? What version of Dolphin HD are you running? How did you access the apps tab from there?
Which image did you use for rooting?
The new Nooter image (2.12.15 released 14/Dec/2010) does all of these things for you. If you re-read the isntructions on Nook Devs you will see this spelled out for you.........
Interesting. The page must have been updated after I rooted. Very good tablet fr the price. May just reyurn my galaxy tab.

So are you saying that you actually used the new auto-nooter-2.12.15? And that you didn't sign into YouTube, then sync Gmail before firing up the Market?
I don't think I used the new version after all. I certainly did not follow the new steps. I had an existing account from my tab somaybe that made the difference. If there is any wayto tell which autonooter I am usingg I can check that. It was very sttage because at first I got an error message when connecting to marketplace directly but I was ableto getthere jsing the apps link from dolphin hd.

I am getting tired of some of the quality apps not showing up in my Nook Market. I am using CM7.
eBay, Gowalla, Amazon, now CNN (and a few others) do not show up. I have to Bluetooth them over from my phone to get them installed (and even then it's a pain when they have an update).
Anyhow, will this ever be fixed? Can the dev's somehow fool the market into beleiving that the Nook meets all of the requirements so that all of the basic missing apps show up?
Just curious if there is ANY hope in the future on this....
I believe i see the problem. I went onto the web market, and looked at the permissions, and i think it all comes down to them requiring this:
"# Hardware controls:
take pictures and videos"
Somehow, you would have to make the nook tell the market that it can take pictures/video, which should then make it compatible. I don't know how easy this is though, so i will leave it to a dev..

There are 5 or 6 apps I use on my Droid (1) that I cannot locate in the market on my NC because of this camera permission. VERY FRUSTRATING! I'm sure the devs will create a workaround for this eventually (i hope!)...
I'll fix it. Thanks for pointing it out.
Please. I would really appreciate it very much.

Well, yeah it'd be nice if they could just disable the camera feature. Apps crash if you force 'em and they try to use the camera, so caveat emptor
I ported the .apk of the new CNN app from my Epic thru Dropbox, it won't install on the Nook....

I didnt try the CNN one yet (I tried it on my phone and it was ok, but nothing like the HC on the Xoom version) but I got Amazon on my nook with Cm7 without any problem, then loaded all my apps that I had from my phone.
I loaded it by going to Amazon.com and loggin in, then it loaded to my device pretty easy (maybe one more step, but easy).
Battery on Nightly 40 was not good, i left it at 64% last night and when got home from work it was 8%. Waiting for the recharge now and then will load #41 and see if anything is better. Sorry for the long Ramble on the amazon question.

The eBay, Amazon, CNN, and Gowalla app all download and work on a stock rooted nook with the newer market update. The eBay, Amazon, and Gowalla apps are all on the amazon market, have to tryed to download from there? I am without my personal computer for a few more weeks or else I would look into the problem for you, it should be a simple code change to get it to work on CM7.
Here's the apk for CNN that works on the NC.

I'm getting tired of the slow scrolling and choppy behavior of apps that shouldn't be. Here is the Netflix app, latest, I think, that I modified to be optimized for Honeycomb. Basically just improves overall app performance.
Enjoy. (attached)
* (You will probably have to uninstall your current Netflix app to try this)
* Updated to Netflix version (360) from the market, released for Honeycomb officially on 10/19/11.
cant install...but I can download it...
You might have to uninstall the old version first.
Works great! (Yes, I did need to uninstall the previous version.)
Thanks!
app works, is very smooth on my Xoom. Thanks

Can someone confirm
I tend to trust the members of XDA quite a lot, however, I'm not going to blindly install this apk. Can anyone confirm that it works?
I'm scared to login as well. The login bars arent misaligned like the account stealing Netflix APk reported to be floating around but I'm still nervous. Has anyone tried this? I'm sorry I'm questioning your work, it probably is fine and a great job done, you just can't be too cautious these days.

You know what's legit? The actual market provided app. It's easy enough to get the APK from a backup on a device that supports it.
If you installed any netfix apk on the xoom then let me make you just a little more paranoid! Did you get the other from the market? I didn't think so.......hmmmmm wonder who got you login from that version? Lol!

Actually I did get it from the Market. Came off my Droid X2.
Not you! The people that got from XDA thread! Like me! OMG someone may be watching Netflix with my info!! No j/k. The app is fine. Don't know why everyone is so scared these days. I locked my CC with Netflix so you can't just go in and change it with the app or online. Have to have more info to make any changes.

If you look through all of mrschmitz's posts on xda you will see he also optimized a nasa app for honeycomb and has contributed some dev work on multiple other things.
Always good to be paranoid with this sort of thing, but I would say it is probably safe.
I am surprised he hasn't chimed in and defended himself yet though.
Confirmed working. i just uninstalled, didn't bother trying without uninstall. Thanks!
Installed it. Video quality seemed to be better. Cam on here to read the comments and got paranoid at removed the app. Waiting for confirmation that this is ok, although i already logged on with the new app so if it was fake it would be too late right?
Doesn't work in Canada just like every other apk out there. Prompts me to update and says visit there bull**** website. A tablet and no Netflix...

He is probably head slapping himself and saying "Why did I even bother?"
App works great for me, Netflix is much smoother now.
Just wanted to tell y'all. It runs fine on CM7.1 stable.
Darn, I thought I was in the apps section, mods could you move please.
Nice spot thanks!
Now it's OfficeSuite Pro 5

FYI, you can go to the Appstore on Amazon's website to order it, and then just download it from your "My Apps" section in the Amazon app when you're on your Nook next time. http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=sa_menu_adr_app4?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011

This is the only one that I could get to work on the Nook. Both Quickoffice and Docs to go would not fit the screen. Great app IMO

I have found that Documents to go works just fine for me on my Nook (CM7.1 stable). Quick office also works and seems very similar to documents to go.
One of my favourite things to come from the IO, since the Play Books reader is the smoothest I've used. Just upload your files here and they'll be pushed to your device.
I just get
"500. That’s an error.
There was an error. Please try again later. That’s all we know."
I get straight 404

Well something funky must be going on with the tablet version, you could try going to the site on your desktop and upload what you need, then see if it shows up on your 7.
yup, uploads fine on desktop here, yet 404 on n7
Can you try some PDF reading with it ?
Because I plan to buy the N7 but when I tried to read some PDF with others apps in a store this was laggy... :'(
anyone know how to ,make PDFs smaller as the file limit is only 50mb

For epub its ok, but its not better than any stand alone reader app. For pdf file, its suck. Adobe reader with local files give you much better experience

I use repligo for pdf reading. By far the best I have used so far. Stupid that they don't support larger than 50mb. I have an epub book that is almost 300. I'm using Aldiko which reads it fine but is really slow. Thought about buying it agan for the kindle app which is much faster but in the end I don't want to waste the money. Was hoping play books would be able to handle it.
Works great for me! Thanks for the share.
