I want to "borrow" ePub books from the local library, but I really don't like the idea of installing dedicated DRM software on a PC and managing a local "library" of ebooks and THEN doing file transfers every time I want to load a title on the Nook.
It does seem as if an OverDrive app for Android was released
http://overdriveblogs.com/library/2...ps-for-iphone-and-android-now-support-ebooks/
"Now your customers will be able to download both EPUB eBooks and MP3 audiobooks directly to their iPhone, iPod touch, or Android phone/tablet. New users can search for “OverDrive Media Console” in the Apple App Store and Android Market, while current users will be alerted to update the existing OverDrive app on their devices."
Is this working for anyone on the NC? Does it avoid entirely the need for PC involvement, and let you download library books directly to the Nook?
Any downsides, fallout from the DRM, or other issues to consider?
yes, it works! Obviously, you must be rooted. If you stay on the stock rom, it worked best for me if I kept the stock browser as "default", otherwise when you attempted to download a book, a different browser like dolphin would get confused and just display gibberish.
Overdrive works great on my nook. I use it all the time. It totallly eliminates the need for anything on your PC. The only thing I have seen is that it can be easier to search on the PC, though when I do that I just check out the books and download them on my nook.
Oh I issue you may have is that you will need to disable the time settings from provider. If you do not you will not be able to turn on the adobe dem feature. Enjoy, feel free to PM me if run into problems.

What's in this version:
You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to them were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.

It doesn't work for me on on HD2. I use signed version and my device DPI is 190.
Any guess why? Can someone help me?
big thanks for you
This looks cool.
Will try it out.
thnx
Doesn't change anything for me, too.
Always installs in /data/apps and not /system/apps, does this make any difference? Moving it manually there does no difference.. :/
€dit: Got a hot reboot and got into bootloop? 0o Had to hard reset, re-flashing system had no effect.. (no bad blocks)
Does it work?
edit
i need sleep i guess cause what i posted wasnt for this version of play store lol
sorry about that
My wife just got a Lumia 920 last week, and she mostly loves it. (She's coming from iOS, so her expectations are pretty high.) She's impressed with the GPS, with the Nokia streaming music service, with how responsive most of the interface is... but she hates the Kindle app.
It gets terrible reviews on the Store. It crashes, loses sync with the server, content just disappears... it's unusable. Is there any alternative here? She's not too big on the official Facebook app either, but at least in that case she can use the web version.
Well, there's plenty of e-reader apps if that's all she needs. Fiction Book Reader is my preferred one (reads both epub and mobi/prc, is quick and very good at remembering location, etc.) but I don't have any other devices I'm trying to keep it synched with. Odd about the troubles with the Kindle app, though; I used it all the time on my WP7 device (sideloading the books, since I'm not a fan of the store's DRM, but this required file system access) and had no significant troubles.
I have a rooted and ROM'ed original Kindle Fire that is definitely starting to show it's age but is still somewhat functional. My thought is to turn it into a "remote" for our Chromecast that is laid out to easily find / cast content. Something we can just leave on the table next to the couch. We are cordcutters so it would be especially helpful when we have family in town staying it our house as they sometimes get confused by live TV through an antenna. We already subscribe to Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc and I can use a family member's cable authentication for other apps like WatchESPN, etc. Hopefully the community here can help me out with a few things:
1) Is there a replacement launcher for Android that will work well in this scenario? I suppose I could go with something like Apex Launcher and just customize it to my liking but ideally I would want something that places all the apps in a grid scenario. Bonus points for some kind of integration with Chromecast, or an app that has a widget for playback controls.
2) Any other apps that would help me accomplish this? Remotecast doesn't seem to have a lot of functionality and I can't find any similar apps when searching through the Play Store.
Thanks in advance!

I personally use Dock Folders to organize my shortcuts..
But since you are only using this as a remote why not just put the shortcuts to all the apps on the home screen?
Just about any custom Launcher will allow you to resize the icons if you want...
If you have a home media server of any kind, BubbleUPnP is great.
Shortcuts to YouTube app, Netflix app, Hulu+ app, etc on your desktop would take care of your issue I would think. Do you really need a custom launcher for that?
