It's the free app of the day on the Amazon App Store today.
Anybody actually get it to work?
It just closes on me with no warning. AospCMod 5/23.
Having the same issue, I get the hourglass, then it just closes.
I ran it on my nook color with no issues though.
Do you have a link?

You have to sign in, then amazon will text or email you a link to DL the app store to your phone/tablet. Once you have done that, fire up the app store app and it will be the free app of the day. You can get a free paid app every day and though it will DL initially to your phone, you can delete it and it will stay in your amazon account if you ever want to reinstall it later. You can also hook up multiple devices to the app (my nook and my hero are both hooked up to the same account).

Exactly the same thing here. Oh well, it may be like Netflix, just not enough of a GPU.
If you DL that bad boy, check out the size, it is massive for a phone app. (the only downloads if you have wifi warning should be a clue).
Yeah, tried this on my hero, dies (eventually) after the hourglass. Tried it on a moment, Started, but very messed up and unusable.
Guy at work is running it okay on a nook color (with honeycomb). A little sluggish.

The only lag I notice on the Nook Color is when you pick up the seed packet after you beat a level. Other than that it runs smoothly.

Ah, actually, now that you mention that, my co-worker with the nook may have said something similar, so disregard my earlier sluggish comment.

Thanks for the link. Wow finally a version that works on the Aria (non-rooted) _and_ its free!

I've never played this game. Tried it and love it!
Thanks a lot!
Great game wish it was a little smaller.

true true. but even the ads don't get in the way. they rarely showed up. i had to pay for my gf's so she can nab it on the iphone.
So I'm rooted with the liberated Rom, but I still can't get it on my phone. I clicked the link above but it won't work. What am I doing wrong?

do you have app-sideloading enabled? if you're using liberated rom R004 or higher it should have an app to enable it.
if so, try downloading it to your SD Card and install from there through your phone.
Thanks for your help! I got it to work after messing with it a bit (and uninstalling like all of the games I had on my phone...)
You're the man! Thanks for the linkage. Installed and I'm working through it again. They definitely did a ton of cleanup between final release and the beta version.
Now, does anybody have a link or apk for reckless racing ?

yeah it lags more in the levels after you get the fat black birds. and the animation of their explosion is completely missing. not a huge issue though.

if you intend on playing it for long periods, go to settings and turn off your internet/data connection before.. it stops the ads from appearing and *almost completely* reduces the lag.
Fully addicted to this game beat all the levels, waiting for more.

Yes, I'm sure. I'm wondering if something was wrong earlier because I just tried again and it's working fine now. When it didn't work earlier, I never got an error message or anything so went on my computer and the B&N site was reeeeeally slow. Things seem back to normal now. Merry Christmas!
Pretty sure they were overloaded from all the new Nook owners.

Their site has been dog slow all day. Bad for trying to get wife's gift card used up. Good for having all these new nook/nook color owners, because this would increase the chances of the devices being supported well for a while.
Looks like we not have a real use for the stock Nook Reader app much longer.
According to this the new tablet app can be used to read magazines.

I haven't had a chance to check this out yet on CM7 as I'm at work and my NC is at home. Anyone try it yet? Does it even see the NC running CM7 as a tablet and give us the right version?
Ive been using it since last night and it is freaking awesome. Do yourself a favor and dl ASAP.
I downloaded it and so far it's a little clunky. At first it didn't see any of my books, but then they showed up. Then I ordered the free trial of Maxim, but I don't see the magazine anywhere. Maybe it just takes a little getting used to but so far it's bugging me.
I couldn't find anything in the press release on gizmodo (but I scanned pretty quickly)... will it play read-to-me children's books?
My Analog subscription magazine now shows up on my C7 Nook App! Woohoo.
Time to re-subscribe!

Is there a way to side load ebooks to the nook app?
For me the Nook Reader is very sluggish in the menus & I can only se my B&N downloaded books & mags. Nothing shows in My files & I have sideloaded several books. Quite a few FC, so I don't know what to think. I like the page turn animation a lot. Great feedback that the page was turned. MAybe I need to try to reinstall??

Using CM7.02 on NC...
Update: Market Enabler did the trick. Had to "be" in the US. Can't buy anything though, seems you have to have an US-creditcard as well. Workaround for this?
I hope this will eventually come to the Nook.
You can side-load it, at least under CM7. Don't know why it wouldn't work under other versions where you can side-load. Here's the thread:

Don't know. I'm using CM7 2.6.32. I think that might be a somewhat later version of CM7 than the one you are using. Another issue may be that I had never downloaded a magazine from them. Like I mentioned I just tried it this morning. I guess you can count yourself as lucky.
Is this better than magazines on the Nook app?

Would zinio normally ask for some form of payment before allowing you to download? I have never used it.
Zinio may never come to Nook
1. It was rumored that Zinio was managing the digital magazine subscriptions for B&N. Emphasis on "rumored." No proof was provided.
2. B&N has its own subscription service to some of the same magazines at twice the price. I don't believe they will ever allow a competitor's program on the stock NC.
Older XDA thread - Works for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050614
I had been running Zinio on an older CM7 load. I reflashed everything and just reinstalled Zinio. The old one at the XDA thread above works for the Nook Color. I couldnt get the new one to work on CM7.
I'm reading my magazine subscriptions.
It is now officially available.

There was an update to Zinio a couple of days ago and now it's not working under CM7. (At least for me). Hopefully they can fix this soon.
Look at the comments, looks like they broke it basically. Anywho, most likely problems related to not being able to load it on the NC (or likely any wifi tablet) are probably around permissions or such. I looked at perms, at least they're not requiring SMS or such, which screws with pretty much every wifi-only tablet, but they could be requiring other things in the manifest.
IE: It's an app problem at this point. Google has firmly decided to filter more apps based on capabilities. It'd be nice, however, if they'd say exactly WHY an app isn't compatible.
Looking at the logs on crash, I see unresolved method "setSystemUiVisibility". This is only available from API level 11 and up (ie: Honeycomb)
Somehow, it thinks the Nook is a Honeycomb device. If it's due to poor code on the Zinio side then it's harder to fix, but if it's something in Cyanogenmod ROM...
I'm running 7.1.0 release.
Evo yes - Nook no - darn!
What's weird (to me) is Zinio v1. 12.4204 works on my Evo 4G, CM7.0.3.1-supersonic, but not my NookColor CM7. 1.0-encore -- the latter which would be a near perfect device except for that one little shortcoming.
zinio installed from the market and opens fine. I can't login cause I don't have an account but it seems to work fine.
It took 3 years but its finally here. Grab it now!

Yea, I found it a bit funny bc the description says its not compatible with tablets, yet Amazon website has a green compatible check mark next to the Xoom. Sow sadly it does start on a black screen on the xoom like its not going to work but if u keep taping the screen and tring to move stuff to the screen it will work.
I just loaded the app and it started. What kernel are you using? Are you on OC GPU? I don't like that OC stuff so I'm stock. I'm up to level 40 and it hasn't sputtered or crashed (knock on morning wood).

I actually am using stock and am not rooted. I was thinking about flashing for sdcard support but I think Im gonna wait and see what 3.2 brings.

It seems to work for me.. the 'not for tablets' is probably because it isn't optimized as well as you have to scroll the screen a little bit up/down to see the top are of the screen for putting towers etc and down to put them on the lowest part of the playing field. Otherwise.. seems to work great for me.
I get an Unauthorized Request error when I start it up. I click OK and it closes .

Anyone have a work around? It begins to play the game fine. I select the level and difficulty, it shows me where all of the buttons are, and then the map turns black. The game continues on, and I can use the in-game controls, but can't see anything. Guess I'm just beat

I'm using a custom kernel. Try going to the dev section and looking in the Notubuntu thread. Flash that kernel and try it. Maybe its kernel related. Mines works fine everytime. I'm on wave 70 and no hiccups.
By the way I'm not overclocked or anything. I'm using the stock honeycomb also. If you guys are using a different ROM it could be an issue.

For me the trick is to do a two finger re-size on the black background, this causes the play field to be redrawn and works great.
Anyone have this issue? See the small text?
Man this game is harder than it looks. How the hell do I stop the helicopters from getting past? I feel like I'm upgrading the early buildings and its killing me!
I noticed that when my game ended and my name was on my high score list. I could not read the list. Either the text was microscopic or was not working correctly.

I have the issues too. I beat the game on easy and medium. Save up for lightning towers and upgrade them to the Max. Also place the goo towers spread apart to slow them down.

Early on drop a middle launcher along the aircraft flight path, then lightning generators later in the round.
I have the same "small text" issue with the high scores screen - this is probably the reason this game isn't "approved" for tablets.
