Why won't my purchased books won't sync last page read/bookmarks?

I've got a few purchased Nook books, and they sync perfectly between my HTC Android phone Nook app and my desktop computer Nook app, however the rooted Nook Color refuses to sync. I've tried several times, but no dice. The books show up on the Nook, but the page read just won't sync. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution short of rolling the Nook back to stock? It's kind of driving me nuts when I switch between devices. Can't find this issue mentioned anywhere else.
Love the rooted Nook besides this 1 issue.

If no one has a solution, has anyone else noticed the same problem?

I noticed this as well and just assumed that their software doesn't sync pages between devices. The Nook app on my G2 pulls down my purchases just fine, but does not remember where I leave off.
Anyone else?

My HTC MT4G definitely syncs with B&N's Nook store - last page read shows up when I open the same book on the PC Nook software - and vice versa.
B&N claims that their software syncs across all platforms. I'm thinking Rooting breaks this.

I use the nook app on epic 4g and the nook color reader (rooted) and the 2 don't sync. I would love to flash my nook color to stock and try, then try after a fresh root (since I have a few things that seem to break over time with root) but i sadly don't have enough time right now.
Also my in store wifi features don't work. Anybody here have in store working wanna check if sync also works?

[Q] Cannot Access Barnes and Noble and Nook App won't connect

So I have searched around and haven't found anything like this.
I have installed CM7 on a SD card, and installed marketplace and other apps off of the CM7 Build. I then went and installed the Nook App. However when I go set-up the app it says that there is no connectivity. Similarly if I try to go to BN.com with the eb browser it says that the web page is not available. However my cell phone and both computers have no problem connecting with the web-site.
Any ideas on where I went wrong?
Thanks

Registering a used nook, after rooting

I bought a used nook color off craiglist. First thing I did was root the unit (it was running the latest B&N firmware). So now that that is done and the unit is working well, I would like to maybe register the unit in my name.
It is still registered in the prior owners name, he said that he didn't know how to un-register it and I didn't either at the time. He is moving overseas anyway and all the info the account is linked to is gone anyway, so he was ok with me taking the unit that was registered to him... ANWAY...
So that leaves me in the position I am in now. The unit works and I would like to register it. I know how to do that and all, but since the unit is rooted and running plain (almost) android, will there be any issues with the registration process?

You will have to return to stock and then call up BN and explain your situation and have them transfer registration over to you or if you have contact with the old owner have him deregister it and skip calling BN.

If this post helped you don't forget to say thanks!

The previous owner can deregister going into his BN account through their websites. Under device he can select the nook and deregister. I think you need to reregister it while on stock, not sure if you can register it using just the serial number (under the sd card tab) through bn website. So, maybe you could call bn and tell them that right now youdont haveinternet service and save you the hazzle of returning to stock

Not anymore he can't. He will have to revert to stock, call B&N and explain the issue and hope they will de-register it for him and then register from the device. After that he can re-root.

Yea, you're I try deregistering mine and it says you need to call to do it. You're going to need to go back to stock and call the previous owner, if he is willing to log you in to his account you can deregister from the Nook:
"Deregister your NOOK Color by tapping on the Settings icon in the Quick Nav bar. Tap the "Device Info" menu option, then "Erase & Deregister Device". Tap the "Erase & Deregister Device" button to deregister your NOOK Color. If your NOOK Color is not available and you need to disable account access, please contact customer service toll-free at 1-800-THE-BOOK (843-2665)" From BN website
Good luck

Well here is the situation now. I mistakenly updated some stock apps, one of them being the adobe flash. I think the latest is 10.3. Anyhow, after updating the apps, the unit was fine, but overnight the battery died. Charged it up and now it won't boot.
Come to find out, the update for flash corrupts some units and you get a boot-loop, never fully booting up. I was forced to wipe the entire unit and start again. Its now de-registered (the nook apps). I couldn't not even complete the registration process. I got to the wifi screen and it kept saying "connection error" or something like that. That wifi works fine btw. Luckily for me I found out how to skip the registration process.
Is there any other way to register this now? Is the fact that the unit is rooted causing the error during registration? I can always try and run the oobe again, wether it works or not is to be seen...

Use your bootable SD card, wipe everything and instead of installing the CM7 .zip and gaaps .zip install this and reboot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30572895/Nook_Color/update-nc-stock-1.3.zip

[Q] Advice/pointer to noob for multiple-device best practice

After operating for years on my old Motorola Droid phone, I noticed the price on the Nook HD+, and research here showed me how easy it was to get to a clean CM Android environment, so I took the plunge.
Went through the procedure today ... Smooth as glass, 1st-time boot of my microSD, stock backup, all the installs (thanks verygreen, e.mote, and leapinlar)! Searching several forums said multiple Android devices with a common Google account was no problem, so I entered my credentials during first CM startup.
I've been running dumb and happy on the phone for so long that I didn't even think about app installs, but the store churned away and installed many of (but not all) of the apps that I have downloaded for my phone over the years.
Problem is, there are numerous apps on my phone which won't be useful (or at least useful for me) on my tablet (GPS signal strength, MyTracks, car operating expense logger, etc). I want to delete these off of my HD+, but if I do so is the next sync of my phone going to nuke them off the phone as well? Should I fall back and punt ... Use a separate Google account for the tablet?
Suggestions and/or pointers to what I should have read before I jumped into the pool much appreciated!
Thanks,
Alan

No, just configure Google to not backup your device. Then it will not restore your apps on different devices.

Thanks leapinlar. There are some items that I don't mind keeping in sync between the ancient phone and the new machine (access point definitions, contacts), but there must be some way to tell it not to backup the tablet's app configuration (I'll back it up to microSD).
Time to start climbing the learning curve!

[Q] "My Nook Today" Not Connecting To Wifi

Hello, I hope someone can help me. I have a Nook HD, set up for the UK, and I have set it up, added my accounts, etc. Everything is working well, except for the "Your Nook Today" screen. When I open it, it gives me the following message:
Recommendations and today's weather are waiting for you, but you need to connect to the Internet first.
SIMPLY TAP THE WIFI ICON AND CONNECT TO A NETWORK TO CONTINUE.​
The Nook is connected to my home wifi network, and I have also tried it using a portable hotspot on my mobile phone, with the same result. I purchased the original tablet on 31st August, which had this issue, and the replacement arrived today (3rd September) with the same issue.
Has anyone come across this issue before, and is there a solution for it? Nook have offered to replace it as faulty, but given that two identical devices have had the same problem, I don't think a third one would sort it out.
My home wifi is working fine, as I am using it to connect this laptop I am typing this message on. Added to which, the Nook is connected to it, and all the downloads work fine. It is connected to my email, and Google Play, etc, as well as to my Nook account.
Any ideas folks?
By the way, it is fully stock, with no root, CWM, etc.

Hi Ursula, I'm experiencing the same problem, read the responses you've had on a couple other sites, just wondered if you'd managed to get this sorted?
Stuart.

Sorry Stuart, I had my second one replaced with a third one, and that has the same problem. I contacted Nook again via their online chat, and they have acknowledged that others have this problem too. This seems to be a server problem within Nook and they are looking into it. They will get back to me when they have a solution.

Ah, that's a pain, although good to know that they have acknowledged it and are investigating, fingers crossed it'll be up and working again soon!

I just bought the HD version yesterday and also have the same problem, so it seems a widespread issue.

Same problem here on 1 x 16GB Nook HD and 2 x 8GB Nook HD's (bought in the UK last week).
I've emailed Nook support who suggested trying to connect to a different wi-fi network but that hasn't fixed the issue.
Don't think I'm missing much, but still irritating.

I first tried my own home router, in England and my android hotspot, also in England. Now I'm at my in-laws house in Northern Ireland, and it doesn't work here too. As you say Finster14, not a major issue, but irritating.

Same Here With Nook HD+ UK, Says Not Connected to Wifi

I've just finished chatting online to Nook, as there is no call centre to ring. They are now saying that it may (only may) be fixed in a new update. However, they did not say when this update would happen, nor did they say that the next update will definitely fix it. I tried to narrow the adviser down to a guesstimate on timescales, and was told that it may be a couple of months, but they were not sure about that.
It all seems very vague. They don't know how the problem started, what the nature of the problem is, why it only affects certain Nook tablets, and how long it will take to fix it (assuming it can be fixed). My partner's Nook HD was bought before mine, and his has none of these problems. I am currently re-downloading the same firmware from the Nook site, in the vain hope that it will fix the problem. I expect it will make no difference, but I can only try, and see what happens. The link for the firmware is below, and works for both sizes of the Nook HD (the 8gb and 16gb versions). It will not work on any other Nook device, but the website has the firmwares for other devices.
http://uk.nook.com/support/nook-hd-software-updates

I got a firmware update a few days ago to version 2.2.0. I hoped this new firmware would solve the "Your Nook Today" problem; but no such luck. Nook online can offer no further help to resolve this problem, so I am no further forward.
