I haven't tried it yet, but I've successfully put my DVD libraray to the Nook HD+. I collected many DVDs and before a business trip this month, I tried my best to put some favorite movies to the gadget. The best DVD Ripper for Nook HD+ is the solution I found from someone's blog via Google searching.

For those of you running CyanogenMod, do you still have the full B&N Reader experience? I'd love to run CM but my kids have books on the Nook Color. Not regular books but the nook kids books that only run on Nook Color and iPad.
unfortunately you have to stay on auto-nooter (rooted stock eclair rom) to keep the B&N stuff.
Right now the NOOKcolor app that comes with the stock OS and supports newspapers, magazines, and kids books does not work on anything but the stock OS. There is ongoing work to try to get it going under alternative ROMs. Subscribe to this thread for more info:

Unfortunately the best you can do right now is set up dual-boot between CM7 and stock.

Thank you for pointing that thread out to me. I absolutely will subscribe to it. That is exactly the kind of think I wanted to see. I very much appreciate it.
Let me make sure I get this right. Say you abandon B&N stock and run something like NookieFroyo or CM7 then download the B&N app from the market. The downloaded B&N app does not work on NF/CM7 ?!?!!
The Nook app works under CM7 but will not read magazines, newspapers, or books that self-read. This last one leaves out many good kids books.

The videos of CM7 I've seen on Youtube look fantastic, but if I can't read my Economist subscription, then it's a deal breaker.
I just rooted my NC last night with Autonooter and it's a real thrill to suddenly feel like I finally own my Nook Color (an un-rooted Nook feels more like Barnes and Noble is lending you the device). I'd love to go full throttle with something like CM7, but honestly, I primarily bought the NC as an eReader+ so I'm just happy to be able to play the occasional game of Angry Birds. Now, if Popcap will just get off their butts and release Plants v. Zombies for Android all will be awesome in my world.
Hello,
Has anyone tried using Amazon Instant Video in the android browser? My device is on its way back from HP and this would be useful to have. Otherwise I might sell it without rooting it and go for the Kindle Fire.

Plays just fine through most Android browsers including Dolphin HD. When I first tried months and months ago it did not seem to work, but in the last month or so I found that it plays just like it does on my notebook PC, so all is good.

I have been able to play them in Dolphin. I do have the Hulu modified flash installed. I am not sure if that is necessary for Amazon though.

It should work in the browser. There is also the app ripped from the Kindle Fire which installs fine on the Touchpad but won't play on rooted devices.
Hey everyone!!!
Great forum, so informative!! I think I've figured out how to root my new Nook HD. I do have a quick question though. I'm basically looking to root my Nook HD to be able to access my Kindle account and Amazon apps (I wanted a Kindle but I got the Nook as a gift).
Will the universal root work so that I can get Amazon apps & the Kindle reader? Also will that allow for videos from Amazon Prime as well?
Thanks
Maggie

Thanks!!!! I'll let you know what I find out about that, planning the root in the next couple of days!
I would like to put the CM 10.1 ROM on my Kindle Fire, but I don't want to lose Amazon Video. I'm assuming that Amazon Video doesn't work if I put a different ROM on my Fire. Is that assumption correct? Is there a way around this?
Thanks for any insight.
Funny I just installed it yesterday(amazon video)... I'm on the tablet version of cm 10.1, and I installed a version of amazon video I found laying around in the forums that is said to work on other android devices, here's the catch, the device can't be rooted, or so I have heard just like on kindles once you root it the instant video won't work, though k thought that was only prime so I am not completely sure how this affects it. So my answer that needs to be improves on is yes the app will work, as to actually watching the videos I am not sure, you may have to de-root the cm os, which I am not sure if that is a good idea. That's my 2 cents, see if anybody else can be of more use.
Edit: ever time I try to watch a free video I get a "unfortunately this program has stopped working" error
Seems like a stupid move for them to not release an android app for us to use their services, they'd rather we buy a kindle, or in this case not flash our kindle if we want to use it.

My Kindle is already rooted and prime videos work. I have the stock rom with the play store. I want to use cm 10.1, but don't want to lose amazon prime videos. It's disappointing that this is even an issue.

I have CM10.1 on my Kindle now and live abroad so I cannot even use the Amazon video store. I'm curious though - can you access the videos by logging into Amazon in the tablet's browser instead, like you would if you were on a desktop?

You can if you have flash installed and working.
I just discovered that the Kinology ROM allows the use of Amazon Video, plus all the google framework and 3rd party launchers. It's not CM 10.1, but it is better than stock.
I have CM 10.1 and live abroad, I use a VPN and Firefox to watch Amazon Prime Videos.
I'm a complete noob but was easily able to install cyanogenmod 10.1 in my nook HD+ thanks to e.mote's great dummies guide.
My problem is that my modded unit still identifies itself as a Nook HD+ to the app store which then refuses to install some apps because they are incompatible with the Nook HD+. I managed to find an apk of one of the apps I wanted and it installed and worked just fine so the limitation looks bogus at least in that case. Also Amazon refuses to stream movies through the browser - non supported device. Is it possible to change the reported device id so that I'm not limited by Nook HD+ personality restrictions?
cheers lu

You can but most users have found it does not help. Best to just sideload apps or use other stores like Amazon or 1mobile.com.

Agreed - I modified build.prop in the system folder to change the ID. It didn't help my main issue AZ streaming which doesn't seem to like anything except apple and kindle mobile products.
thanks for the input

You need Flash and a browser that supports Flash to use Amazon streaming. You can get the Flash player from an archive page on the Adobe site, the latest one for Android 4.0 (ice Cream Sandwich) works but is not supported on Jelly Bean/CM10.1 & 10.2. For browser, you can use Dolphin Browser once you enable the Flash plugin in its settings.
