You can't. They are permanently there by design by B&N.

They are not. The native B&N ebook reader can hide it and go completely fullscreen.We just need to find out how it is done.
EDIT: I have searched B&N developer documentation for some API how to enable/disable bottom system bar and found only following message
Note NOOK HD and NOOK HD+ do not support true full screen mode. The bottom system bar always displays. Therefore, the NOOK "n" key is the home button and not the back key since the system bar contains a back key that always displays.

This means it will be either unsupported hack or the documentation is wrong. At least the "back key that always displays" part is not true. I've seen the bar without back button
Additionally it appears that both home launcher and ebook reader can also add search box to the bottom system bar so it is not ordinary android system bar (or is it?). OTOH when media player is playing the design of system bar is same as stock ICS (black bar with dots in usual places).

I'm sure it can be modified, but are you sure you want to? It can be painful to have to "home" for every "back". Anyway, it will have to be a hack in /system, which means recompiling, putting in the /data/su directory and symlinking, and hoping it doesn't bork the system!
Part of the reason I got the nook hd is that you get the whole screen while reading. It is quite annoying to have the bar but in every android device I've used, you don't get the full screen. But the Nook HD screen is 16:10 so in landscape movies are ok as 16:9 is the typical encoding.

I can confirm this app does work. But you need the paid version. Status bar hiding only works in the paid version. And I had trouble with the multitouch gestures, so I switched it to phone mode instead of tablet and single finger geatures were enabled. And that made it work well. And nothing apparently was written to /system to cause a reset.

I have just found from google play a freeware full!screen to hide and show both the status and softkey bars, and downloaded and installed on my rooted Nook HDPlus. Worked flawlessly. It didn't reset my system even its use requires root.
My rooting has been done with the set of files and steps you provided, for which I am very appreciative. Thank you.

Yes, I have used it. It is an awesome app.

The GMD gesture control works fine. Only drawback is that every time I use it to hide the bar it also removes the wallpaper from both stock and apex launchers.
Also, just found that Asphalt 7 from play store, that normally crashed before loading, plays fine with the bar hidden.
You loose the wallpaper because the way that GMD uses to hide the bar is kill the SystemUI service.
I used that method before on my Touchpad and it did work, but it is a little nasty.
Since CM10 you can hide the bar (Expanded Desktop) so it is a better alternative than GMD.
I use an app called Hide Bottom Bar. Much easier to activate than GMD. You can activate it from the notification panel or via widget. Also it doesn't kill your wallpaper. And you can access a soft key pop up with a one finger swipe from the bottom similar to Button Savior but without a persistent visible toggle. Very convenient. Only drawback is that it is not free.
I tested all previously recommended possibilities. No one suits for my needs. But ... i used TSF Shell launcher and TSF MIUI theme for starting theming phone my way. TSF Shell have possibilities to hide all stuff, that you get blank screen. I dont tested it yet on Nook but i will do this on next week.
Actually i have not ended my Nook HD+ theming (based on original Nook HD+ theme), running on CM10 and CM10.1. I hope i have time to end it this week and post it here too.

I just gave this a try. Found that unfortunately it does kill the wallpaper when I tried it.
Is there a way to add a "Home" soft key to the navigation bar (as in CM or standard Android navigation bars)?
Use Handy Soft Keys instead
Handy Soft Keys: It is a free app using which you will get navigation bar at any convenient position along the edges of the screen by drag and drop.
Hello! This is my first post on this forum, so please LMK if I have breached any protocol.
I have a rooted Kindle Fire HD running 7.2.2 (I have disabled auto-updates by renaming otacerts) with Nova Launcher and Hololocker. Everything was working beautifully for a month or so, Google market is running great, etc.
It locked up streaming a video yesterday and I restarted the Kindle. When I restarted the Kindle, I had the screen locked in Horizontal mode. Now, when I start my system I cannot get the system tray to appear at the bottom of the screen nor can I get into the options menu at the top of the screen.
What are your thoughts on how to fix this? Some googling indicates that this functionality is controlled by the systemui.apk file. Is there some modification to this file I can do to fix the problem? Should I reinstall Hololocker? Nova Launcher?
Switching back to the Amazon home screen does not fix the problem.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Solved
>>Solved! (that was quick) Disenabling hololocker fixed this. Then I reenabled and it is hunky-dory.
However, if anyone has any good tips or tricks for hacking the systemui file, they sure would be appreciated!

apoth30sis,
The screen lockers sometimes cause the tray and the upper status bar to disappear. We
are looking into a solution. Do not edit the systemui.apk file, the results can be
disastrous. We will post a solution once we have a solid Locker program. So far
everyone has some bugs, so we are designing our own. Thank you for the post, we
will advise once we are ready.
I had similar problem. Somehow, the notification bar is tied into the Google apps you installed for Google Play. To fix this, you must activate your Gmail app on your fire HD. Once it's activated, your notification bar will return. Don't forget to reboot after activating Gmail app.

ameswilliam,
This makes sense since Gmail sends a setup command to the notification bar.

Switches like if I used a toggle. Stock ROM.
Works fine on my latest ROM , phew! (toggles without FC).
But If it bothers you make a nandroid backup just in case and then perform a data wipe, boot clean and try again!

Pleasantly surprised with this ROM as I am not normally a big fan of combo ROMs. I would like to see an integrated SD swap like that is skrilax's version of CM 10.2, but otherwise I like it.
