[Q] Magazine screen goes blank - Nook Color General

My nook color has suddenly started going to a blank screen when opening magazines. it is nootered and has been working fine for months with B&N subscription magazine content. now is flashes that magazine and then goes blank. all other apps seem to work fine, including B&N newspapers.
rebooting doesn't help. neither does archiving and re-downloading. i'm tempted to erase and re-register, but i don't want to go through recovering all my apps & re-nootering

[Q] Keep Reading button not working for some side loaded content on stock 1.0.1

So I've flashed back to a stock 1.0.1 and i'm noticing strange behavior with some of my side loaded content. It seems that only some books will properly load with the keep reading link of the open book icon at the bottom of the screen. I've played with a few different books and i can't seem to figure out why it's selective. If i open the library and pick the book from there it loads to the last page every time. Has anyone else seem this? or have any suggestions on what to check. If i need to root again and pull the DBs to figure out why I may if i get bored sometime this week.
Thanks

[Q] Getting sideloaded books into "Library"

This is driving me a bit mad.
For a while, my Nook (BN v1.1, nooted) didn't want to start up easily. If you rebooted, you had to go into Clockwork and then reboot again, otherwise it would get stuck on the intro screen.
This weekend, I decided to go back to stock and factory reset to start again. I updated the NC to v1.2 and then ManualNooted. Works great with one exception... I can no longer get ePub books that I load to show up in the Library.
I can get to them in the Library by going to "My Files" and hunting around for them, but I want them to appear "books". They used to do this and I can't figure out to get that functionality back. I've tried putting the files on a few different places in the Internal Memory and an SD card, but Library doesn't seem to find them.
Am I missing something stupid or did something change between the versions?
Thanks!

[Q] Library is now empty

Hey guys,
Did a search and found people with a similar issue but no solution. I bricked my NC last Friday trying to install a kernel. I got it back with recovery but now my Nook library is empty. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Nook app multiple times but no dice. When I look at my account from my computer, everything is still there.
Anyone know what might have happened?
66 Views and nobody has an answer???
Come on guys, somebody has to know something. It sucks because I can't read the book in any other reader because of DRM or some bull**** like that. When I try to open the epub file in any other reader I just get symbols.
Help!!!1
This is totally just a guess, but you may want to try going to settings/applications/manage applications/ view all and find nook then clear data, clear cache. I read somewhere that this sometimes helps with apps that are acting up. I hope this helps. good luck.

Thanks dude. I have since given up. I started using the Kindle app and that's working for me so far.
Luckily I can finish reading the book I was in the middle of because I have a Pandigital Novel at home.
I basically had the same issue, but it started a little different.
My library showed all of my books, but when I clicked to download them, it said something about could not download, call 1-800-the-book. Obviously I wasn't about to do that.
I searched around quite a bit and never found an answer that worked. I uninstalled Nook app, re-installed, and updated. That made it worse. Now I don't see any books in my library. I signed out, signed in, refreshed, etc. No luck. I moved the app to sd card, that didn't help.
I never did find an answer, so I just switched everything over to Aldiko. They even have steps on how to import books you bought from B&N.
Interestingly, I have the Nook android app installed on my Evo. Both my Nook and my Evo are on CM7. I have no problems at all with seeing my library or downloading books on my Evo.

I tried Aldiko as well. But when I try to open my B&N book it asks for a password. Moon Reader opens the book, but all I get is gibberish I guess due to DRM. Lame.

Here are the steps I followed to get B&N content on Aldiko. Found it on Aldiko help page.
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.
Enjoy!
Im having the same problem. I completely erased and rebuilt my whole nook - most recent CM7, and the most recent nook app, and still no librar. Tried Aldico and it does not work as there is no content on my card. I downloaded off my pc to the card and it would not read it.
This has happened to me before, I posted in the B&N forums how to fix it.
What worked for me after (a lot of headache) is simply this: on your online B&N account on the PC, move every single book to Archive, then move them back to the library. They should then show up in your NC.
It seems to be a server refresh type of issue.

B&N support had me try moving one book to archive and back and it didn't show up. I guess I can see if moving them all makes a difference.
EDIT: Nope didn't work
UPDATE:
With the Nook app update on the on the market this morning, suddenly my library is back! Not sure what they updated but it seems to have solved my issue, for now.
I'm having this same issue. Nook app one my rooted NC was working fun until one day, poof, library is empty.
I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, re-installing, signing out, moving the app to SD card, etc etc. App is version 2.6.2. Anyone else experiencing this? I tried to engage B&N support but it's pointless.

[Q] Updated B&N application not downloading??

I have CM7 on rooted nook. Last night my B&N application was acting funny, so I went to the new market, uninstalled the new market updates, then went back to the old market, found the B&N update and installed it. Now my previously purchased books can't download, says there is an error. Anyone experiencing this problem? Does it have to do with the new B&N application not recognizing the device? Also on the Application, I can't get to its settings or help tab, in order to check for the sd card assignment. I tap and tap, and nothing. I can tap on the books but get the errors and can't download come.
The Nook app changed names, that generally means that you have to erase data or even uninstall/reinstall.
I cleared data and all is well.

Depending on how old your app was you have to sign out and then sign in and reload your books all over again.

[Q] Comixology on HD+ (CM 10.1.3) - performance issues with latest app update?

I'm running CM 10.1.3 RC2 on my Nook HD+ (as is; no other tweaks) and was disappointed to see my reading experience fall apart with the latest update (which brings "HD" comics to the app). The main page opened very slowly, downloads wouldn't complete and the app froze whenever I tried to open a book.
So I deleted and reinstalled the app, which meant redownloading all of my comics (the app defaulted to grabbing the "HD" versions). The app at least opens and books download now, but the performance definitely took a hit. This is odd because the Nook HD+ seems like it should be more than capable of handling it. While the new interface is really cool, there's now a bit of lag in some of the page transitions and scrolling quickly takes a few swipes to "catch" a page and results in a second or two of blurriness before the page is fully rendered. Not the end of the world, but it's a drag after the buttery smooth experience of the previous version. To be honest, I didn't really see a different in the HD comics (Comixology already looked awesome on the Nook HD+ screen under the old app). I'll try redownloading the non-HD versions and see if there's a difference.
Curious to know if anyone else experienced this and/or if there are suggestions to otherwise improve the performance. I bought this thing specifically for comics and am really bummed out about this.
Large downloads now not working...
As an update, I wiped the tablet with a fresh install of 10.1.3 (stable) and the app seemed to be running much better. Still going with the non-HD downloads as I really don't see a need for it.
Still having a problem with the Nook choking on larger downloads - trade collections are getting stuck at 8% while single issues seem to need a minute or so to start the download (but the single issues come through just fine). I've tried clearing the cache, force-closing the app, rebooting the tablet, etc., but no luck with the larger books. Comixology support suggested that I hit Restore Purchases under Settings, but that didn't seem to make any difference. Feeling frustrated as I really want to read these particular books.
Another note is that I can't read any titles when the app is stuck trying to download something - the books are listed, but I get a blank screen whenever trying to open one. What else can I try to get the large downloads working?
