Anyone using the nook app?
If so, are you having any problems with reading your magazines?
I just ran into a problem where when I try to open a E-magazine the screen will shut off and go black.
The books work fine its only the magazines that dont work.
Anyone else?
ive found the nook app quite inconsistent... appears to freeze when loaded, trying to load a book i've download seems to be reallllly lagged, once you open something its fine but moving between books and the initial run are... painful

I am having force close problems with my Kindle app. I have installed the update and all new features like dictionary search and the like cause a force close. When I press the home button to exit the application while reading I also get a force close error. Luckily the program is still saving my spot. I have searched for more information and there are a few reviews in market talking about this problem, but that's all I can find.
I have reset permissions. Uninstalled and reinstalled the update. I have removed the Verizon version with titanium backup, and reinstalled with regular market version.
I am rooted, DI01, and deBinged. I am noticing some applications just do not work on the Fascinate for what ever reason, like new wifi Skype. Is this something I can fix, or do i just need to hold off for an update?
I loved mobipocket on my bb storm. I like Kindle too but I wish I could get it to work correctly. Any help, advice, or comments are greatly appreciated.
Bump.
I'm on the Aria but am having the same problem. I'm assuming it's some process/app interfering w/ it, but I have no idea what it could be.
Any help would be appreciated.
This will show you my installed apps through App Brain. I don't think that is the problem though.

same issue even before root
Is there a better reader than Kindle? I am suprised that more people have not had this problem.
Better readers are, Aldiko and moon+ reader, get Aldiko then look on drinkmalk.com for how to getbooks, read em with moon+

I have found FBReader and am very happy as I can still use mobipocket files. This artical also shows how to keep in sync with your dropbox account.

Hey,
after rooting my nook color (1.1.0; auto nook 3.0) i'm expieriencing some nasty issues: every attemp to sign in (youtube, kindle, market...) fails. the error message is always similar: no internet connection. but on the other hand my internet connection via wifi (WPA/WPA2) is working without problems. i tried to replace the pre-installed youtube app via adb, but uninstall seems to be withou success...
i hope you can help me to find a workaround.
thank you for your help!

I have a similar problem. 1.0.1 rooted. Every time i sign in on youtube the next time i try to open the youtube app it just doesn't load. I have to uninstall it and push it through adb in order to work. So is there any way to sign in without it crashing afterwards? Thanks
I have the same problem. Starting today I cannot even launch the youtube app. It crashes immediately. So I removed it and went to the market to find a fresh install, but I can't find it. Its probably only available as part of Android OS. What is a good way to bring it back?

hmmm...I need the youtube app as workaround to get access to google market
uninstall via adb was not successfull. but it seems as my nc has a general problem with signing in...kindle app is unable to connect to the internet (wifi: full connectivity, internet active), facebook via stock browser is crashing as soon as I push the sign in button.
There may be two problems: a wifi NC problem and the youtube app problem. I have an intermittent wifi that I fixed by going to 802.11g. See my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11458921&postcount=1
The youtube problem has been documented in the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883989&highlight=youtube

Have you used auto nooter to root? If yes, and you've removed Youtube from the NC, i just put the auto nooter file back on the SD card and re root following the usual instructions. I had removed it, hoping to just install it again, but like you say, market doesn't show it. I re-rooted my NC and Youtube was back. *Just remember as the below poster shows by linking the other thread, do not sign-in, just leave it normal, i and others had issue when you log in.
I just updated my NOOK app and it does not run. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Anyone else gotten the updated nook app that came out today running under CM7?
EDIT: Never mind. I cleared Data and then it was able to run. . . It does require a complete reload of all of your books due to a new architecture. . . so bear that in mind. . .
Hopefully this addresses the general crappy performance the old nook app had under cm7. I swear every other app I use works flawlessly. The old nook app constantly forced closes, is very insensitive to touches, and just plain old sucks. Eventually when you got it to load a book it is pretty stable but will still lose your spot every so often.
It drove me to set up dual boot stock/cm7. I am booting back to CM7 now to test the new version out!

agreed, not really impressed with the nook app, it does work though (newest update). irritates the hell out of me when it loses my place, i've found that the bookmark feature seems to work if I can remember to use it lol.
The only reason I use the Nook app is to show off to my little niece about the page-flip feature, that's all.
I read .epub using either Cool Reader or Aldiko while using Adobe Reader for .pdf.
How did you install the the 2.7 update? While the nook app shows up in the Market, there is no option to install or update. When I go to the web based Market interface, it claims that the nook app is not compatible with my CM7 Nook Color. I've tried the usual fixes like editing the build.prop file for screen density (160/161) and also to make the device/manufacturer appear to be HTC. No luck. I found a 2.6 apk that works fine, but have yet to find a 2.7 apk outside the Market. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Uninstall the market update and you can search it and it will have a download button.
I wish the nook app supported the "read to me" books that I bought and now can't use unless I put stock back on my nook. I'd like to also be able to read them on my phone or another tablet.

I am running into the same issue with Phiremod'd 6.3 and the B&N android app.
However in my case, once uninstalled (original was corrupt and would not work), returning to the Android Marketplace and selecting the app does not bring up a download button. Gives me all the info about the application, but no app download or uninstall.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening? If it were windows, I'd say there was a registry setting left that was making the system think the app was still installed...

I just told you in the section that you quoted. Use the old market!

Total noob here, just got my nook color last week. I have CM7 on an SD card and I am having the 'no download button' problem. Can you point me how I can install the old market? Thanks.

I have a quick question: is it possible to lock the old market down so it doesn't auto-upgrade. Every now and then, out of the blue, I fire up the market only to find that the app has updated. I can then stop the Market and uninstall updates. But it's a pain in the a$$ to do that over and over and over...
Uninstall the market updater app. (I used Titanium Backup for that.)
I'm loving CM7 and having netflix is amazing but not having the nook app really hurts.
I can log in fine. It sees my library but when I try to download the books from my library I get the message "Problem downloading this item. Please try again Later."
I'm able to download the free-be books just fine, just not the one's I've purchased for other devices. Also, I can't seem to find any books I've side loaded onto the nook.
Any ideas?
Btw, I'm on the nightly 217 though I had the same problem with an older version as well.
Try installing CM7.1 as the stable is out now.

No dice. Still forces closes for me on 7.1 and the newest nightly too (217).
Ok, 2 people with different issues.....
cinciblue6, try fixing permissions. If that does not work you need to tell us more. Any other apps causing force closes? What version of the Nook app are you using? Did it ever work? Can you recall when it stopped and what you had recently done?
Tapiozona, when you sync it do all your books show up? What version of the app are you using? Sometimes I find if I long press the book and choose show details and then the download button from the new screen if goes through anyway.
@patruns
My problem is slightly different. Mine can download books just fine but when I try to open them, it force closes. Not sure when it stopped working. I would guess sometime after nightly 197 (though I went straight to 210 after that.) VLC Remote also does not work (though I just dled that last night so it never has.)
Tried fixing permissions but it didn't do anything to help the situation.
Edit: I may have updated the Nook app recently. I'll check to see.
Try signing out of the B&N app, then reboot and sign back in. You will have to re-download any books you wish to read though. This was also required when updating the app last month.

Did it before and just did it again and still no dice.
I'm gonna do an uninstall and reinstall and see if it works. If not, I guess I'll just wait to see if it ever starts working. I have a regular Nook so it's not a big deal but for magazines I prefer the NC.
Thanks for the help.

I fixed this issue for a customer the other day, it happened because the credit card associated with the account had expired. Log in to the B&N website and try changing your credit card on file and see if that helps.
The new Music section has popped up for me and everything works great, except when I try to actually get a song. For instance when trying to get a Free song I tap the Free button and get taken to the Purchase screen just like for Apps and Movies but before the accept button appears I get a "failed to retrieve information from server" error and get bumped back to song info. Going to the Market site with a Desktop UA let's me go to the same Free song and get it so that limits the possibilities. I already tried wiping Market data. Anybody else with similar problems?

same issue
I am having the same issue on my Xoom. Followed the same procedure a couple of times. Looks like this is a pretty common issue whenever they do a new market release. Hopefully they get it working soon though, the free song of the day is sweet. Does anyone have an alternate work around?
Well it's working for me now, don't know why it's suddenly working.
For people who are still having problems just open the Market in a Web Browser and use that. If you get automatically pushed to the Market App when trying to go to http://market.android.com then go to "Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market-->Clear Defaults".
