has anyone figured out how to open ebooks in it?
You need your ebooks (pdf) to be on your SD card I believe on the top level directory. I usually just find mine in Astro and it'll ask if you want to use Adobe to open them then it'll save them as documents you've opened.

Thanks, I just need to find a current version of ASTRO.
Aight, i have adobe reader 10. it does everything i need but can't find the reflow option (make fonts bigger). I dont want to have to downgrade to 9. too slow and choppy. Any help?
So far, the best pdf reader I have found is ezPDF. I use it on my Archos tablet. Has anyone tried this on the NC?.

Works w/ bugs. Getting Special Characters on screen, making the book un readable at times.
ezPDF, Adobe, RepliGo.
Since I bought it as a reader, first thing I did was check a bunch of pdf reading apps. From experience RepliGo works, Adobe works, and ezPDF works. The best of the three is ezPDF, but you need an SD card for the cache. The next best is Adobe.
I don't think any of them have an open feature that allows you to browse for the file you want to open, so they all require a file manager. Adobe and ezPDF both have a recent feature that remembers what pdfs you have opened recently, so that kinda helps.
Could anyone comment on the native PDF app? Does it work in landscape mode? And how well do panning and zooming work? I know in the original nook that zooming didn't really work, but it looks like reviews of the NC say that PDF handling is much better.
I've got a whole of math class notes as PDFs, and trying to reflow on those would be a pretty epic failure.
Thanks in advance!

What do you mean i need an sd card for cache? Will that fix the problems with the special characters? if so, can i just sotore the pdf on the card and u can view it normally, without those secial characters coming up?

Perhaps, I am wrong, but I could not get ezPDF to work without an SD card. ezPDF creates a folder on the SD card where it keeps information on the opened pdfs, configurations and settings. It also has a temp folder which I just assumed to be for memory purposes.
I have tried many pdfs and they look no different than on a computer, save for the occasional LN, which stands for a link. Those special characters don't really interfere with anything since they reside at the bottom.

The native PDF is QuickOffice. There a few things that bother me about it. One, there are certain formats that it does not like for pdfs and will just display a giant x. Two, it does not save the page where you left off. Three, to switch the page, you must swipe down to up as opposed to right to left or tapping the right side. Four, it does not have an indicator to display whether the page is loading or completely loaded. I sometimes find myself waiting on blank pages to do something. Or used to, since I use ezPDF which has an indicator and fixes all the mentioned problems.
To answer your questions about the native app: It works in landscape. You can fit the pdf to width or zoom in and out by using the pinch gesture or tapping the (- +) that shows up on screen. The pdf handling is much much better. The native app does not give you many options, so text reflow is out of the question, which I presume is not a bad thing in your case.

+1 for ezPDF with an SDcard.
Night mode with reflow is great, but I have problems tapping the bookmark button successfully.
Maybe my version of ezPDF is different than yours. I am running it on an Archos 101, not an NC. I am here because I am looking for a smaller tablet and deciding between the Archos 70 and the NC.
My ezPDF has a tab across the top that allows me to select either "recently viewed PDFs" or "all PDFs". The "all PDFs" tab lists directories and can expand the directories individually to select PDF files.
In my experience, ezPDF is way better than Adobe's reader for Android. Adobe's works pretty well, but is pretty basic. There are many, many features in ezPDF that are not in Adobe's.
OTOH, from what I have read in this and the B&N forums, the built-in QuickOffice PDF reader is less than basic. It has no reflow, for example, which I think is required for this type of device. It also seems to not support some common image types or compressions, or at-least folks are reporting pages with red x's across them. The feature set has been reduced from what QuickOffice offers in the actual product.
I find ezpdf to be too slow when it comes to going to the next page.
The stock reader works in landscape but I can not get it to remember where I left off.
I'm still looking for one I like. I wish there was an Android version of Annotate. That's my favorite on the Ipad.
I agree it is slow, but I can't read that fast. For me, the page scroll at the bottom more than compensates for that. The 101 is a bit faster than the NC (1GHz vs 800MHz), but I consider ezPDF so superior that I won't look back.
I assume you mean iAnnotate, and yes, I agree.
sin7, thanks for answering my questions about QuickOffice. That actually sounds like it should work for my needs pretty conveniently, since I'm using it for math references which don't necessarily need to stay on the same page.
I've seen a few people in other threads mention that vudroid works nicely for PDFs on NC once you've installed the softkeys app. Mine is still in the mail, so no personal experience, but that might help some of you still looking for the best app?
Could somebody stick up Adobe Reader 10 apk somewhere? I'm having the devil of a time tracking it down, and I cant seem to find the damned APK file on my phone to pull it off...
Thanks.
- Will.
You can search for the Adobe Reader on freewarelovers.com.
For some reason 10.0 is listed as an old version apk, but you can still download it.
I love the fact I can drop a SD card into my Nook and change the whole thing. But one thing I could use a help. I want to put something on that will mainly allow me to read PDF's I possess, keep notes and if I could, even write on the PDFs. But it's got to be all on the SD card, I don't want to flash my nook. I figure there's something that fits this description, I could just use a little help pointing me in the right direction.
I'm still learning a lot about all this Android business. Including the market place and such. I'm very new to all this. Thank you everyone.
That's exactly why i FIRST got my NC - just for PDF. About a day later i started hacking it but that's beside the point ;-)
NC's stock PDf reader is definately nicer than kindle (ha ha) but leaves a lot to be desired. I tried umpteen readers, but by FAR the best is ezPDF (it is a pay for app, but really, for a couple of bucks). the only issue is that default is fullscreen which nixes the soft buttons (but then again you only need these to get out of reading a file), and this behavior can be altered in the settings, or you can use softkeys (which really you need anyways for other naught fullscreen apps)
I have a huge library of PDFs that i need to keep synced for work - I use a PC program called viceversa for syncing across desktop, laptop, encypted portable drive etc. I also use this program in combination with SAMBA on the NC to sync PDFs between my PC and the NC over wireless. This preserves folder structure and everything, It's a beautiful seamless solution.
There are now instructions surfacing for transferring CM7 to an SD boot - but with the speed this is changing that might be premature.
I use Nookie Froyoy as my stable backup. It is very easy to transfer apps and settings between the installs using titanium backup and samba (slower, but easier!!!). the disadvanatage of Froyo is that it does not work on anything bigger than an 8gb card, and you lose some space to the system.

I' also a happy user of the Ezpdf reader. You can add notes, underline or cross out portions of the text and save them to the actual pdf. Very stable and easy to use.
I'll have to look at ezPDF then. A friend of mine was showing me a PDF reader that allowed him to write notes on the PDF and I forgot what it was called but it was also on the iPad, not Android. Figures that Android would have an equivalent or at best, it's the same app just ported to both platforms.
The main issue I'm having now is that I'm currently using this image on my nook but I'm finding that I'm having problems with email and GChat (chat doesn't seem to work at all and email is erratic at best)
I like honeycomb but it seems like it's still not quite ready for prime time. Plus the one SD build available (This one) Hasn't been updated in a couple weeks, not that it needs to be, but I had problems with it as well.
In general, I like the idea of a Nook color running custom android software but I'm still new to all of this, period, so I'm stumbling over a lot of things.
Hopefully the CM7 I've been reading about will come with a SD version I can test drive soon.
I use the same SD bootable image with no problem whatsoever. Very stable [and fast if you use the overclocked kernel-1.1Ghz is fine]. Email works without problem though I haven't tried GChat yet.
Btw be sure to try RepliGo Reader too. It's a bit faster than the Ezpdf but lacks the nice interface.
I have played with my N2E with ReLauncehr as a base, and Launcher7 as my preferred launcher (which doesn't launch by default), and now looking at readers.
Firstly, the stock reader. In Relauncher there is a button on the top left. Pressing this takes me to page one of the book I have had open. Not the current page. I cannot find the Reader App to put in as an icon on My L7 tiled screen, though the library app is Ok for this.
However, I have tried coolreader as it has nice customisations for the hard buttons, plus text formatting that I like.
However, I get similar issues in it starting a book at page 1 sometimes. Is this a common thing? It is when I exit the app and then go back in. I can go from a book back to the 'root' page and then back to the book again OK.
Also, sometimes, I get the 'book loading' screen for a very long time. Often pressing the page up/down buttons revive it.
Thanks
I may have solved this by going to Moon+ reader... which works better for me!

It's waht I used, though it's not perfect. It doesn't keep up with page numbering very well.
Well I have since reinstalled cool reader and it is working properly. It may be that it needs an SD card which I probably didn't have in at the time? Anyways, all good now.
Can not read from an external SD
Hello. I long enjoyed the Cool Reader for HD2, but now bought the SGS4 and I can not use the program. All my books are stored on the external SD, but the menu in the program allows access only to internal memory - emulated SD (storage/emulated). At the same time, my wife uses the program on your Sony Xperia ZR and easy to read books from the external SD.
How to fix?
On my SGS2 under browse the file system it lists both my internal and external card.

My everyday NSTG has been updated to FW 1.2.2, running a kernel for 1.2.1 that enables multi-touch, no-refresh mode, and USB host/audio. I never found a kernel that would support BOTH no-refresh and fast mode AND USB, but for reading text no-refresh runs rings around fast mode, IMHO. So I took that kernel and substituted it for the one in the @pinguy1982 USB Host/Audio package so I would have the tweaked audio driver set he put together AND NoRefresh mode. Worked like a charm
I decided to ignore the QuickNav buttons entirely. I assigned the "n" button to "Home" (ADW Launcher) . I assigned the upper left button to "Back" and the upper right button to "Menu". Lower right is set to my "Set Cover" app.
I tried to create a really different look and feel (see images below) using a combination of Desktop VisualizeR and SiMi Folder, two amazing apps. A SiMi folder is essentially a miniature launcher which can be placed on the desktop and assigned an icon using Desktop VisualizeR. More information on the design of the home screen is here.
I also used Minimalistic Text to create the date/greeting and weather widgets (NST Weather Widget app). Any apps that didn't fit into my SiMi folder categories were typically seldom used tools of some sort (wallpaper picker, etc.), so they ended up only in the app drawer. ADW Launcher allows me to hide in the drawer "junk" apps or apps that are one-touch which have been assigned using NTMM.
I have two other NSTs I use for experiments. One runs the unofficial 1.2.2 UK ROM as described here and the other is set up just like the NSTG described above.
These three devices are registered and use the B&N Reader and Library apps.
I also have an NSTG which I have set up without B&N apps as described here. I have installed Mantano Reader and ColorDict (with the Merriam Webster Collegiate dictionary, just like B&N) to replace the missing B&N stuff. Otherwise, it is set up the same as the two NSTs. It is, however, running FW 1.2.1 which is helpful to me when developing Tasker-based apps since plugins do not work with FW 1.2.2 (that is, the Tasker routines do not call the plugins but apps made from the routines have no issues with the plugins).
All the devices also have dual-boot capability for CM 11.
My apps: those marked with * may be hard to find/are older versions and are included in a bundled zip here (note: Mediafire seems to have a problem with a zip full of apk files so each file has an added ".OLD" extension. Remove this before side-loading). Non-B&N apps with no links either came bundled with NookManager or are from the PlayStore (or places like it).

For homescreen setup screenshots, you can look at the NTG Homescreens 2 and NTG Homesceens 3 albums in my profile. I won't upload screenshots of my homescreen because I am a homescreen themer and change my setup about every other day. I can, however, add screenshots of other parts of my device, if you like.
The reason my uRamdisk is unreleased is that it is not stable enough or safe enough for widespread use. The main change that causes this is my seting it up to mount the /boot partition as read-write upon the device booting up. This is extremely dangerous for any average, non-developer user to have, because if even one file in that partition gets modified incorrectly or deleted, their Nook will become permanently unusable for anything except a paperweight.
Hopefully this explains things for you.
How do you guys have so much space to add apps to your NST? I've got the original NST and I keep getting warnings that the Nook is running out of space... Unless the NSTGL has a larger system ROM space than the NST? NOOK!E, I am currently using the 1337 ROM, and everything else seems to be working pretty great.

Um...I dunno? I have the original NST, too, with an 8 GB SD card (6 GB is still free). 90% of the internal storage is still free. I only have a few B&N books on internal storage, the bulk (many) are on the SD card along with music and audiobooks.
I have don't have any apps moved to the SD card.
So how come you're running out of memory? I get occasional nags from CleanMaster that RAM is scarce when I'm doing a lot of work, switching apps, etc., but I've never received any warnings about running out of storage space.

Maybe, but I think the bigger question is "why is this happening in the first place?" Did you ever do any repartitioning? I'm running stock 1.21 and have never fiddled with anything like that. I've never moved apps to my SD card and have never actually even removed any stock apps, just disabled them by changing the extension to .OLD. I just let apps install wherever they have a mind to. The only thing I have avoided, as a matter of course, is storing media on the internal memory (except for the few B&N books). All my own stuff goes on the SD card.
So what's taking up so much space on your NST? Something's not right.

Hi, sorry for the delay in response... Work kind of got in the way...
I have never done any re-partitioning, and I've got a 16gb sdcard. This is the first time I'm trying to move apps around, and I don't have many B&N books on the internal memory. I've only had the basic apps that install when first installing the ROM (UCbrowser, abridged list of Google Apps, SuperSU, ES File Explorer, etc.)... I started getting the alerts mentioned before just randomly that the Nook storage space was getting close to full. I only started getting the new errors when trying to install apps from the GoogleMarket or side-loaded sources. I only started trying to get rid of stuff/clear space once I started getting these messages/errors.
I've followed all the steps in the first post here Nookie's 1337 ROM to update from an earlier version of that ROM.
Thanks for following up.
DKaine
Yep, and either yattaro or NOOKIE would be your best bet for help with that ROM and the issues you are seeing. I didn't notice any similar responses within that original thread. You might try a PM to NOOKIE. I know he's busy with school right now, but he'll get back to you.
Do you think that antivirus apps are 100% useless on NST (and android devices in general)?
edit: News Republic fails to connect, says: "not trusted certificate server", any clue? (or other similar application working?)

I think that the system is too limited to get into many dodgy situations in which you might need antivirus protection
Seriously, even if you could find an app that would work on 2.1, the chances of the database being current is very small. It would also probably slow the system down even more.
I am bummed about News Republic It was working fine the last time I checked it. The security certificate issue is new and I guess it's one that is not covered by the updated cacerts file used to resurrect the Kindle app and others. I'll try to take a look at the logcat and see if it identifies the certificate name.
In the meanwhile, the NewsHog app still works (just checked to be sure) except for the weather (which may be part of the paid version). It's a little cranky syncing so you may have to touch the sync symbol as you move from news category to category. Also, scrolling is an issue (as it is with nearly all of these apps except for News Republic!!!!!). A very quick flick with your thumb across the bottom right corner of the screen usually works best, but it is a skill. Also helps to keep the screen gutters clean.
Edit: I managed to scrape up older versions of News Republic that spanned 3.0 to 4.2. None of the 4.x would install so they are for higher Android versions. The final 3.x series (3.30) installed and opened OK but exhibited the same issue. A glance at the logcat revealed multiple server contact problems during the initial opening of the app. So it's not just one certificate, regardless of what the screen notification says. Looks like a recent change left the older versions in the dust. RIP.
Also, although it's not quite as streamlined as an app, you can bookmark news.Google.com in your browser--I use Opera Mobile--and if you take the time to customize your view when using a PC (and signed in) you can achieve a similar effect if signed in on your NST browser. No scrolling issues either.
Thanks for the info, unfortunately News Republic as you said continues to have issues. NewsHog isn't bad unless you live in Greece - there is no locale for my country Finally, bookmarking news.google.com/gr (or whatever) is a good idea, but manage the whole thing from desktop doesn't work as opera NST version is too old to sync with current desktop browser. I also use WordNews, seems reliable and has a lot of sources working.

It's not necessary to sync browsers. All you have to do is sign in with the same Google account you use on the NST and set up your news preferences. If you sign in with Opera on the NST then the same news preferences will be displayed. I finally put an Opera shortcut to Google News on my NST home screen and used the Google news app icon: -)
Thanks for the WorldNews tip. I'll check it out.

That was a hit! Done and enjoyed, thanks!
GenieWidget does not seem to work...when I try to add a location it tells me that it has no internet access, which is weird since everything else works with wifi on my rooted NST glowlight...?

GenieWidget has been dead for quite awhile. Even if you could set a location, the weather part was the first to die and then eventually you could not bring up the news either.
If you're interested in weather, WeatherAce is pretty nice, especially if you have a Wunderground API key (free). The only news apps I have that still work are BBC, NPR and NewsHog. All suffer to varying degrees with cranky vertical scrolling, but you can manage with some practice and very clean screen edges. Another alternative is to customize Google News (news.google.com) on your PC logged in to the same account that your NSTG is registered under. If you then sign in on the browser you use for your NSTG, you will get those same customizations. I did that and set a shortcut on my home screen, "borrowing" the current GoogleNews app icon. At least with that one (in Opera Mobile) there are no scrolling issues.
Working versions of the apps I mentioned above can be found in the zip package linked from my signature.
Hey guys, i've been around for a while, but my touchpad have been dumped on the back of a shelf. I decided this week to give it a update and have been looking through the ROM's for it over XDA. So, i've recently cleaned it up with the TPToolbox and installed the latest ROM avaiable with the most recent Android version, which is Evervolv 7 with Android 7.1.
What i have noticed is that this version has at least 240mb of RAM footprint by Android system. Also, i've been going thru a lot of force closes and random system reboots in Just 1 Day from clean install.
I was wondering if anybody can suggest me a ROM that:
1- Runs smoothly on the touchpad;
2- Have a small RAM footprint by the system;
3- Is well known for not having random reboots;
4- Got at least Android 5.0;
5- Have minimal Bluetooth compatibility (can use some Kind of BT speaker);
6- Can be used on a daily basis to read and edit some documents.
In the meanwhile i'll be looking after other ROM's, testing them out for a day or two and put some info here.
Btw, the reason for looking for a low consuming RAM ROM is because i want to open 3 Chrome tabs without closing Adobe reader on the background.
Thanks
stay with android 7.0 because even if you go back to android 5.0 the ram power is still the same

You might want to look for an alternative to Adobe Reader. My experience is that it is one heck of a memory hog - as with all things adobe...

Ya I found the same thing, I'm using Xodo PDF here. Better viewing experience than Adobe reader, what are you using?

There's been (3) of late, FBReader, Google PDF Viewer, and Drive PDF Viewer.
Drive PDF viewer seems to show up after installing 'Drive' on some. Not quite sure why Google would have two different viewers...
Now if I had to Edit PDF files, I"m not sure what I would use.
I was staring at one of my dead system boards today, wishing there was a way to plant some extra RAM on them.
If but only...

Lol if only we could expand the RAM, double would be nice:fingers-crossed: Thanks for the PDF suggestions I'm liking the FBReader. Strange that google has two different viewers maybe one is an addon on for the other, since it only shows once its installed. Going to check that one out next:good:
I use wps office which do word;excel,powerpoint and read pdf
