I hope this will eventually come to the Nook.
You can side-load it, at least under CM7. Don't know why it wouldn't work under other versions where you can side-load. Here's the thread:

I tried intalling it this morning and got a message saying I had to upgrade to the new version. Per the thread, others are having similar issues.

Don't know. I'm using CM7 2.6.32. I think that might be a somewhat later version of CM7 than the one you are using. Another issue may be that I had never downloaded a magazine from them. Like I mentioned I just tried it this morning. I guess you can count yourself as lucky.
Is this better than magazines on the Nook app?

This is weird. I just tried it again and it worked. Didn't even suggest that there is a new version of the software. I read elsewhere that they were providing free downloads. Looks like I can download any and all of their magazines free.

Would zinio normally ask for some form of payment before allowing you to download? I have never used it.
Zinio may never come to Nook
1. It was rumored that Zinio was managing the digital magazine subscriptions for B&N. Emphasis on "rumored." No proof was provided.
2. B&N has its own subscription service to some of the same magazines at twice the price. I don't believe they will ever allow a competitor's program on the stock NC.
Older XDA thread - Works for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050614
I had been running Zinio on an older CM7 load. I reflashed everything and just reinstalled Zinio. The old one at the XDA thread above works for the Nook Color. I couldnt get the new one to work on CM7.
I'm reading my magazine subscriptions.
It is now officially available.

There was an update to Zinio a couple of days ago and now it's not working under CM7. (At least for me). Hopefully they can fix this soon.
Look at the comments, looks like they broke it basically. Anywho, most likely problems related to not being able to load it on the NC (or likely any wifi tablet) are probably around permissions or such. I looked at perms, at least they're not requiring SMS or such, which screws with pretty much every wifi-only tablet, but they could be requiring other things in the manifest.
IE: It's an app problem at this point. Google has firmly decided to filter more apps based on capabilities. It'd be nice, however, if they'd say exactly WHY an app isn't compatible.
Looking at the logs on crash, I see unresolved method "setSystemUiVisibility". This is only available from API level 11 and up (ie: Honeycomb)
Somehow, it thinks the Nook is a Honeycomb device. If it's due to poor code on the Zinio side then it's harder to fix, but if it's something in Cyanogenmod ROM...
I'm running 7.1.0 release.
Evo yes - Nook no - darn!
What's weird (to me) is Zinio v1. 12.4204 works on my Evo 4G, CM7.0.3.1-supersonic, but not my NookColor CM7. 1.0-encore -- the latter which would be a near perfect device except for that one little shortcoming.
zinio installed from the market and opens fine. I can't login cause I don't have an account but it seems to work fine.
OK, I am going to be getting a couple NCs for the wife and I. So I have been doing a lot of reading and want to make sure I have a handle on evrtything. I have decided that CM7 is the way to go. If I am understanding correctly I basically create a CM7 image on an SD Card (cheap Sandisk seems to work best???) and then I can run it from the SD card without installing it on the internal memory of the NC. That way I can pull the SD card, reboot and have a stock NC. Is that right? Will the performance suffer from running it from the SD card? Are there benefits to installing on the internal memory? Also, if I do install it to the internal memory, how do you use it as a normal NC? Do you just get the Android Nook app? How does that compare to the actual Nook software? Do you lose any functionality? My wife will use hers primarily as an e reader whereas mine will be a tablet first. Does anyone have experience using different browsers like Skyfire and Opera? Those are what I use a lot on my phone. I have seen the name Dolphin HDused alot, but I don't know anything about it. I am sorry for all the questions and if my terminology is not 100% accurate. I am, as the welcome video says; a noob.

That is correct; with one exception. CM7 will mount the "Media" partition, and changes there will be reflected on the stock OS (this partition just stores your files, pictures, music, etc; nothing related to the system).

Yes, performance will suffer. I used to run from SD card, until i finally gave up and tried internal. Internal is much faster, and of course makes it easier to use you SD card for pure storage.

Normal NC? You mean as just an eReader? Yes, you would just use the market version of the nook app.

From what i have seen, you will lose the "Read to me" functionality, and the look and feel of the market version is different of that of the stock version. But, by using CM7 (or rooting stock), you can gain access to Kindle and Google books, which kind of makes up for it.

Opera is by far the best browser; it is the only browser with renders web pages with the GPU; this is what allows smooth scrolling and page views (like the iPad has). Dolphin is nothing more than a skin of the stock browser, and isn't worth worrying about.

The Android Nook app loses:
* Read To Me
* Shelves
* A quick shortcut to the current book you're reading
It gains a couple of features: a fancy page-turn animation, and a true black & white "night" mode. (The stock reader's night mode is more of an off-white on dark gray, if I remember right.)
If your wife has a lot of nook books, she may really miss the shelves feature. Without it all books are listed on one page, ordered by Title, Author or Most Recent. That's most recently purchased, not most recently read.
With no shortcut, every time you return to the app you have to scroll through all the books you have downloaded to find the one you're currently reading. That could be annoying if you've got a few dozen or more loaded.
I get around both problems by using a third-party reader. But to use it, I have to strip the DRM from the books I own, which is at best a gray area legally.
Most people who read a lot will probably get more out of a stock nook, or better still, a nootered nook. If it's nootered (rooted), you get all the features of the stock reader, as well as the ability to download any number of other applications including Kindle and Overdrive (the library lending app.)

Thank you very much for the input. Your answers have highlighted the fact that I need to do a lot more research. I am not even sure what the NC can do out of the box. While the wifey will use it primarily as a reader, she also wants to be able to play games and download apps. Can this still be done on the stock OS? Can you install a different browser (opera) on the stock OS? I've seen the term "rooted stock" but haven't read up on it much since I figured I'd just have to root them to do what we both want. I'm guessing "rooted stock" is somewhere between being rooted and keeping the stock OS. Would this allow using the native reader intetface while still allowing access to apps via the Android market? If I can get it so she has a nice browser, can play games (Angry Birds, etc) and keep the native reader (which she really likes) that would be perfect. BTW, before anyone starts yelling "USE THE SEARCH NOON" like they do on some forums I have visited, I know these answers are probably all on this forum somewhere and I am continuing to research on my own. I have been and will be reading a ton of old posts, etc. But, it is also helpful to have one thread to list all of the questions that pop into my head.

I was new to Android a couple months ago and hesitant to root so I decided to put CM7 on an sdcard. I bought a cheap card and the thing worked but it was agonizingly slow. I bought a Sandisk 8GB class 4 and it works GREAT - very fast. I have never overclocked (haven't gotten the nerve for that yet) and it is very speedy for my needs. I later rooted stock which is what I recommend for your wife. You put a launcher on (I like zeam) and then you have your B&N shelves and access to the Android market as well. BTW, you can also get the Amazon Appstore and check it out daily because they put up a free app every day - very cool.
Good luck with your decision. I love my Nook!
Cool, so it looks like it'll be CM7 for me and nootered for her.
One more question since I have your attention. Is there a way to tether the NC to my Droid X and connect to the internet? My Droid X is totally stock and I have no desire to root it or mod it in any way. I have used PDAnet to tether to my laptop, so I'm looking for something similar to that.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I can tether my Win Mobile phone (getting an Android phone as soon as my contract runs out!) to my NC. My phone creates an ad hoc connection and I had to make a small change on the Nook to get it to work. I'm pretty sure you will have no problem. Just search and you will find the details specific to your phone.
The only (wireless) tethering you can do WITHOUT rooting is the paid Verizon service. No other wireless rooting will work (all need superuser). I gotta ask though - any reason you don't want to root the X? Its not really anything different from rooting your nook..

I guess it's really just fear. If I brick my phone, I am royally screwed. If I brick the Nook, it would suck, but it's more of a toy anyway. I know it's probably very safe and easy, but I just keep thinking of the horror stories I read when I thought about rooting my Q9m back in the day. That said it is very likely that once I root the Nook, I will end up rooting my phone. Baby steps

CM only, waiting for CM9
I emmc dual boot stock and CM7. Only reason I still have stock at all is for the kids interactive books.
CM only. Been running ICS since the source were first pushed/I learned to compile.
Dual booting BN 1.4.1 on eMMC for subscriptions and Conde Nast pubs, with CM (Mirage) on SD. Probably going back to CM on eMMC soon.
After many variations on my emmc and sd card, I finally settled for MN 1.3 which allows full BN software access (especially "read in store" which I use to offset no ebook discounts or coupons) and relatively unimpeded Market access on the "Zeam" side.
I recently updated it with 5.12.20 which (though designed for 1.4.1) installed with no problems and has not caused any issues.
One major plus with it is that I can now use HBO Go! The image is not quite as good as Netflix but is certainly acceptable.
Use very few apps on the BN side with almost all app usage on the "Zeam" side.
Very pleased with the current setup.
Now, if I could just figure out how to stretch the screen to 8.9 inches all would be right with the world!
Having never set up MN, how do you switch from Zeam to stock when in use?
Comes up as option (which side do you want to use type of thing) when you finish booting or whenever you press the "N" button.
From 12/2010 until around 8/2011 I used my NC as my tablet, but also read quite a bit on it, using CM7 most of that time. I got a Dell Streak 7 in August, and mostly the NC got dusty in the meanwhile.
But now I've been playing with it again quite a bit with ICS on it.

Read news, Facebook, books, play games, listen/watch podcasts, watch Netflix and TV.com, use it as a personal planner - email, calendar and task list, use educational apps for my kids and grandkids, surf pinterest, and on and on. I have so many apps that i had to expand my data image to 2 GB. My whole life is on my nook! I'm a 53 year old grandma and feel pretty proud that at my age I've hacked nooks for myself and 4 others. They are as hooked on their nooks as I am.

So I have been away from the forums for a few months (maybe more, heh). Where can I find more info on this build?
I've had my Nook for a year, and although it's been rooted, I only used it as an ereader. I just installed CM7 on it today, and I still plan to use only reader apps on the device. I like the freedom of being able to customize the device any way I want. CM7 is great, but my NC will still be used mainly as a reader.
I am dual-booting Nook 1.4.1 and CM7, but I spend most of my time on CM7
i purchased 2 nook tablets for an 8 and 11 year old. im debating whether to not root it because i think it wil be easier for them to follow interface and the only downside i see is having to pay for apps that may be free on amazon or play store. can i have some input here? is there a super easy rooted rom that a child can follow? or are there many free aps if i just keep it as an out of box nook. thanks so much guys
Rooting by someone()'s All-in-one at the Nook HD, HD+ General section works great for me as it is very easy. The HD+ still works like the original and at the same time can use apps from Play Store (or side load). Only if you want B&N updates it could mean losing your root, but as someone() disabled automatic updates you can wait with updating until others have checked the effects of the updates.
Getting ADB working is the most difficult part. I already had a so called 8bootloop, restoring the original software after experimenting a bit too much, but within half an hour I got it all working again. B&N profiles were updated after logging in, even the profile I already made for my daughter was available. Just my view, more experience users may correct me.

If all you are looking for is apps, you can side load without rooting, just load on your machine then adb install. I find s lot of free apps don't even show up for tablet, but I copy over from my phone and adb install them, usually without problem
Ps, you can also load a different launcher of course....

Yep we are all hd folk here, can't speak to the tablet, but so far the ota hasn't borked us. And once adb is working, you can side load anything as long as it doesn't touch /system. Including a launcher which is highly recommended since the b&n launcher won't show all the apps easily.

If you can get ADB working on your nook tablet you should be able to sideload apps without rooting. And they should be safe if B&N sends an update to the ROM. But you might get better advice by posting in the Nook Tablet forum. Users there know more about the Tablet.

The short answer is: Yes, it's worth it. The difference between stock 2.1 and either Cyanogenmod 10.1 or Carbon is like night and day. Just being able to configure the homescreens the way you want is worth the small effort to install a new recovery and ROM on the HD+. You get a whole range of options of how you interact with your tablet (PIE, HALO, ribbons, etc.).
I've installed both CM10.1 and Carbon and prefer Carbon, but that's more of a personal thing. One nice thing is that my Galaxy Nexus is on Carbon, so I have just one interface for both of my mobile devices.
If you are not sure if you want to change the Nook, download the SDCard only version of CM10.1 it works great and will not touch your installed system.

Oh GOD yes!!! I just did it to my Plus and L♥VE it. I used this [NookHD+] CM10.1 native emmc install updated 07/06 but [NOOK HD/HD+] Installing CyanogenMod 10.1 for Dummies is also easy to follow.
It makes the device so much easier to use. Its like my Galaxy Note 2 but bigger and I can now install the tablet app versions of the apps I have like SketchBook Pro. Win,win. :victory: The only two apps I lost were the Nook and Starbucks. Since my main reading app is Moon+ Reader Pro I didn't care and only sideloaded the Nook app to see if I could. I pay for my coffee with the Starbucks app on my phone so I don't need it on the Plus.
Just read through everything a few times until you're comfortable. It takes about 30 minutes or less.
I actually installed it twice because I wasn't feeling well the first time and was frustrated with the stock, it took wayyyyy to long. So the next day I reverted back to stock and did it again. Just to be sure (you know friends are going to ask me to root theirs). Honestly, easy peasy.
Once you do it you will wonder why you waited so long.
Now if I can get them to add the screen navigation buttons like I have on my Note 2, to get from screen to screen without swiping, I would be really happy. (hint, hint)
It took me two days before I setup the hybrid version. After a week or so I installed Carbon. It's great. My daughter left her's stock. I have no desire to return. Do the SD boot and check it out.

If you ask me CM 10.1 makes the Nook HD worth having, It runs as well, there are a few minor bugs in the scheme of things with none a show stopper, battery life is good, performance is good, movies music all play well, the Nook App still works plus you get the full tablet experience and customization. I have no plans to ever return to stock, unless a warranty situation arrives. I am running CM 10.1 in emmc, I never even bothered with running it on an SD card first. I had my nook less than a day before I put CM 10.1 on it.

For myself, the answer is definitely a yes. It has much more functionalities after flashing to cm10.1. However, if you are only interested in reading book, web-browsing and sending emails. It may not be a bad idea to keep the stock rom as it's more stable and power efficient.
i was quite hesitant to do the cyangen mod because i had no experience with android devices. i started with sd card and then took the leap to native install.
benefits:
all google play apps
automatic backup of all to google
quick updating to new verions without losing any data
you can still download the nook app if you want
in short - it's great. don't bother with the dual boot solution.
especially now since the hd+ is being phased out by b&n - a versatile android os on top of good hardware is the way to go.
It is definitely worth it. I had stock os with "app from outside source enabled" mod on it for a while to test drive it. I had alot of my apps from Amazon store so I wanted to make sure everything was ok. Since this solution was great, it still felt a little bit limited so I said to myself, why not just go all the way since I was keeping it.
I did it and never looked back.
For those who've mentioned Carbon, is it available for the HD as well?
I've got the CM10.1 hummingbird ROM running off sdcard on my HD; I was going to install it to internal today but if Carbon is available for HD I'll test it out first.

Yeah...I found v8 of the ROM after the two+ hour search/parse forums yesterday. Basically had enough time to install it and do some basic configuration before I collapsed, so I forgot to come back and delete this post .
On the plus side, sleep battery life is excellent! Unplugged the Nook immediately after installing the ROM and syncing my main Google account. It dropped 6% while I was configuring some apps and settings, but did not drop at all while in sleep mode overnight.
Now time to start researching, then testing and building . Would anyone be interested in a working Scheme interpreter or nano editor?
I would love to see nano

I was a stock user with Nova for a week and found it too limited. I guess it depends what you want to do with it.
I sometimes run Stock from an SD card on my HD+. When running stock, you can access all your apps without another launcher. From the Apps screen simultaneously touch "Apps" and hold down Vol down.
