As I do.. Playing with the new froyo this evening, I ran across the kindle reader on the market app. Downloaded it.. And all my ebooks I used to read on mobipocket's mobile app work on the kindle android app.!
So.. One more thing that seems to work now...
I'm ready for android full time on my Pure!

Ok, I have somewhat basic question I think...
Does the Kindle app still work with a rooted NC?
Here is my scenario..
I bought my Nook Color around the 5th of Jan and registered it with my gmail account. I rooted it, and installed the Kindle app, and a couple other things to verify it worked.
I deployed to Afghanistan ( where I am now ) and decided I wanted to buy a book from the BN store. Since I registered with gmail, and I am out of the country I couldnt get the book to download. I talked with customer service and they assured me that if I was to de register/re register with my military email then I would be gtg.
So.. I did that. De registered, and then the nook went crazy on me. I looked through all the posts and blah blah. I finally found how to get the nook to reboot to original. I was able to get it going, got it re registered with my Military email, and bought a book.
Now, I re rooted the nook with 2.12.25 ( after I re upgraded to version 1.0.1 ) and am able to get all the apps I had before except for the one I actually want... The Kindle reader.
So, again I have to ask... Is the kindle app dead now? Or maybe it detects I am out of the country and says I am out of luck?
Also, I have installed AppBrain App Market. I have found the app on that, and when I try to instal it just hangs up, then goes back to the market.
When I search for the app with the regular Market it won't show up at all.
Any help would be much appreciated, and sorry for the long story for such a small question!

I copied the Kindle App from my Nook Color and uploaded to dropbox. Hope this can help.
It works for me. My best guess would be that it detects you're out of the country. You might call Amazon and just tell them you're running the Kindle app on an Android device and it won't work. Thanks for serving our country.

I will give this a shot. I assume I can log in with my nook and download that link you posted? I don't really know how the dropbox thing works...
Also, thanks for your input A nonymous, and it is my pleasure.

Thanks guys! I got it to work by downloading it out of the Dropbox thing!
Does anyone else when using kindle have the scroll slider bar on the bottom on the kindle cut off when running it on 2.1? I have tried different launcher and hidden the stock launcher but it always come back when running the kindle app. Any help would be appreciated.
Does anyone have the Sports Illustrated tablet app working on their Xoom? Whenever I try and d/l an issue it forces a close and shuts down. There are several comments in the market saying it works but I'm not sure what tablet they are using. All the press releases list the Xoom as one of the devices but no dice....The phone version definitely doesn't work the tablet app starts fine but cant read anything and it is frustrating me, SI hasn't released an update since April...
yea it worked on my 3g xoom only in portrait tho...I didn't like it so i uninstalled it...but I downloaded and viewed the magazine just fine
if you are ever board can you d/l it again from the market and see if it still works?
I just tried it on my Xoom and it installed fine and opened just fine. Then it wanted me to sign up for an account and I backed out. Like others have said if I want to read SI I will simply download the magazine and read it. No need for the tablet application.
I just updated my NOOK app and it does not run. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Anyone else gotten the updated nook app that came out today running under CM7?
EDIT: Never mind. I cleared Data and then it was able to run. . . It does require a complete reload of all of your books due to a new architecture. . . so bear that in mind. . .
Hopefully this addresses the general crappy performance the old nook app had under cm7. I swear every other app I use works flawlessly. The old nook app constantly forced closes, is very insensitive to touches, and just plain old sucks. Eventually when you got it to load a book it is pretty stable but will still lose your spot every so often.
It drove me to set up dual boot stock/cm7. I am booting back to CM7 now to test the new version out!

agreed, not really impressed with the nook app, it does work though (newest update). irritates the hell out of me when it loses my place, i've found that the bookmark feature seems to work if I can remember to use it lol.
The only reason I use the Nook app is to show off to my little niece about the page-flip feature, that's all.
I read .epub using either Cool Reader or Aldiko while using Adobe Reader for .pdf.
How did you install the the 2.7 update? While the nook app shows up in the Market, there is no option to install or update. When I go to the web based Market interface, it claims that the nook app is not compatible with my CM7 Nook Color. I've tried the usual fixes like editing the build.prop file for screen density (160/161) and also to make the device/manufacturer appear to be HTC. No luck. I found a 2.6 apk that works fine, but have yet to find a 2.7 apk outside the Market. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Uninstall the market update and you can search it and it will have a download button.
I wish the nook app supported the "read to me" books that I bought and now can't use unless I put stock back on my nook. I'd like to also be able to read them on my phone or another tablet.

I am running into the same issue with Phiremod'd 6.3 and the B&N android app.
However in my case, once uninstalled (original was corrupt and would not work), returning to the Android Marketplace and selecting the app does not bring up a download button. Gives me all the info about the application, but no app download or uninstall.
Any thoughts as to why this is happening? If it were windows, I'd say there was a registry setting left that was making the system think the app was still installed...

Total noob here, just got my nook color last week. I have CM7 on an SD card and I am having the 'no download button' problem. Can you point me how I can install the old market? Thanks.

I have a quick question: is it possible to lock the old market down so it doesn't auto-upgrade. Every now and then, out of the blue, I fire up the market only to find that the app has updated. I can then stop the Market and uninstall updates. But it's a pain in the a$$ to do that over and over and over...
Uninstall the market updater app. (I used Titanium Backup for that.)
Anyone using the nook app?
If so, are you having any problems with reading your magazines?
I just ran into a problem where when I try to open a E-magazine the screen will shut off and go black.
The books work fine its only the magazines that dont work.
Anyone else?
ive found the nook app quite inconsistent... appears to freeze when loaded, trying to load a book i've download seems to be reallllly lagged, once you open something its fine but moving between books and the initial run are... painful
Hi,
I'm really hoping someone can help or at the very least, put me out of my misery. My little girl loves playing Sims Freeplay that I downloaded from the Play Store onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7". So, we purchased a Nook HD for Christmas for her. After switching on for the first time, and loading the Play Store, Sims Freeplay didnt even appear on the Play Store. After searching through google it came up with the error message 'Your device isnt compatible with this version'.
After searching online, it was suggested that a rooted Nook HD would allow access to all Play Store Apps. So, I followed the root instructions on this site and downloaded CM 10-1-3 with all of the other relevant programs and installed. Everything went fine and I have a rooted Nook HD, great. Unfortunately, this has not solved the problem of Sims Freeplay. It still doesnt appear on the Play Store and when accessing it via Google it still gives the same error message.
Other users have suggested changing the LCD dpi resolution to 240 but this is the resolution already installed on CM 10-1-3. I have also tried changing it to 320 and 170 (which I believe is the dpi for the Samsung Tab 2 7") but with no joy.
Is there actually a way around this problem because if there isnt I would rather know as this was the main reason for buying my daughter her own tablet in the first place. Should I sell it and replace with a compatible device or is there something I have missed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cannot find a solution anywhere.
Stuart.
There is a way to get the game on your HD device with CM installed (through the 1mobile.com store), which I tried, but it would not run. It said it could not connect to the EA server and to contact customer support. You might want to try a different device.

One thing to try is grabbing the APK for the app from your compatible tablet and then sideloading it on your HD. I do this sometimes on my Nexus 7 for the Comcast email/accounts app, then move it to my HD+ and install it. The app I use to grab the APK is called "APK Fetcher" in the play store.
That said, the app may or may not run well on your HD, but it doesn't cost anything to try.
Oops, posted at the same time as Leapinlar (who would know better). Only other thought is: I wonder if the game would run on stock ? You can sideload apps on stock without root.

Seems strange, some people claim to have got it working by changing the LCD DPI which I have tried myself both up and down but it has done nothing. Do you think that DPI would have anything to do with why the device is coming up as incompatible?.
Someone else suggested installing a modded version of Play Store which is claimed to get rid of the problem but to be honest I dont really understand that process.
It's annoying that a tablet that I found to be inferior to the Nook HD (Samsung Tab 2 7") works perfectly but the Nook HD doesnt work at all (neither does the Nook HD+ for that matter I think).
