Pretty much what it says in the thread title...I just did a Market update on my CM7 install and it showed an update for the Nook app to support magazines and newspapers. The only major functional difference between the stock reader and the market reader now is kids' read-to-me books. Nice update!!!
That's great, although it is lame that kids books aren't supported yet, even the *pad supports those!
Just updated, and couldn't get anything to work right! Just cleared the cache and rebooted to see it that helps
Great will update that's what was missing

Well allllright! Now I don't have to resort to annoying work arounds to read The Onion and Asimov's Science Fiction on the market Nook reader. It supports more magazines now too (for example, PC Gamer was "Nook Color" only, now it's "Nook Color" and "Nook for Android (Tablet)" which apparently means us...makes me curious how it's deciding what is a tablet and what isn't, if it makes a distinction...screen resolution I presume), so it's work a look for anyone who got some magazines on the Nook Color and can't read them now because they are on CM7 or something.
I think the interface is a bit better as well.
My books disappeared
I have a number of books loaded on my SD card( in the correct directory). After the update the books don't show up.
Any ideas?
edit: They showed up. Just had to wait a few minutes.

I'm not sure what to say, I didn't have any problems. Have you tried refreshing the the app? (that is, presing the refresh button up near the top of the screen underneath the search button within the app?)
I can't get the update to run on my nook color with 1.2 and manualnooker. There's an icon but when I tap it nothing happens no force close screens no error messages nothing. It's like the app isn't even installed.
I've got the same issue on my stock rooted original. Maybe it's not working because I haven't updated to the newest software version.
I also tried running it on my nexus, but my magazines will not show.

I'm running CM7, but why are you guys trying to get it to work? You can just use the slightly superior still stock Nook Color reader. I mean, you know, go for it...just curious.

Not everyone has stock (rooted or not) still intact? Never mind, I gotcha (Thought you were referring to the earlier posters rather than later)
On another note, going to the store (and for that matter, any top-bar or bottom bar menu items, like menu, go to library (if in store), info, search) takes a long time to register. It's not my screen, because I can swap in and out of other apps and hit those spots without any lag or problems. Menu is not working for me at all

Its not possible to run Nook app if you are running Stock... doesnt matter which version... at least i never got to run and always found ppl stating the same
some questions
Running cyanogenmod 7.02.
Is it possible to "read in store" when I am in B&N?
Using the nook app, do I have to load the books on the SD card? Can I put them into internal memory?
Thanks in advance

Bummer about the small buttons on the top right of the app..
FYI, search will work in app if you use the CM7 Tablet tweek search button. It will call up the BN apps search dialogue box, provided you have the option toggled on to show the search button on the status bar.
Worked great, for my phone

Good, that's about my only real complaint about it right now.
Looks like they didn't fix sideloaded books showing their covers. The nook app is the ONLY reader app that doesn't show my sideloaded books covers. Every other one i tried they work fine. Annoying.
Just be careful what you touch.. I was looking at magazines and saw NatGeo and thought hey, look, maybe I can preview it. So I tapped "Current Edition". Nothing happened. Tapped it again and it confirmed purchase for $6 for a single edition.
I've emailed B&N telling them to remove this and credit my CC back and that they should fix their horrid user interface.
First off it should VISIBLY change when there's money to be paid. Button changes color or BETTER the button is in a different position, such as a pop-up window that says "Your credit card will be charged X dollars, purchase/cancel". Not the same button that apparently is so laggy it doesn't update in time for folks to not realize tapping it twice in a few seconds will purchase it.
Meh.

Not sure where along the way they stopped working but my children's book are no longer readable on my rooted Nook. Im going to totally reset it and go through the process again to see where they broke. I'm guessing it may have to do with the fact that I updated Adobe air and I believe some of the kids books use that. I will let everyone know what I find.
the children's books that come with it work fine on my rooted nook.
Did you upgrade Adobe Air afterward?
It is def a result of upgrading Adobe Air. I just factory reset and rooted and children's book worked fine. I upgraded Adobe Air and they broke. Any who has a need for children's books should not upgrade that package.
do the magazines still work on a rooted nook?
edit: Nevermind, it is early in the morning. I was thinking a nook running a different version of android.
Magazines work still; kid's books no so much
Can someone post the Adobe Air here. I didn't notice its missing(?) til this thread.
I think this is my pre-upgrade APK... you might wanna double check the file size versus the upgrade APK.

Should I be using adb to install this?
Or can I install from dropbox?
It also asks me if I want to replace a system application.
I say yes. But I dont know if it is doing anything
I answered my own question.
I used adb

Has anybody had issues with the children's books on rooted stock Froyo update from B&N?
I tried the older Adobe-Air APK in this thread but it didn't help. The problem I am running into is with the children's book with the extra features. It is tricky to turn the pages, the tap or tap and swipe seems very sensitive but will work. The books will still read to you, but the newer books with "extra features" you can never seem to tap on the feature icon. It always misses it and turns the page forward or back.
Stock Rom, Softkeys installed, and Zeam launcher. I am not sure if I still need softkeys installed, Zeam is set to default launcher on physical home key press and I bring up the B&N home screen via the App I found on the forum here. I can also bring up the app via Softkeys --> Home button.
(I'd like to uninstall softkeys if I no longer need it due to the app i found that will launch B&N home screen. I was unable to get the double press home screen button to work with softkeys, hence using app to launch it is much quicker)
Any info or hints to try would be great.
Thanks

There were some problems if you used MN 4.5.6 or earlier. The fix was rolled into MN 4.5.25, or you can try this
I ended up flashing the stock 1.2 Froyo rom and then re-rooting with MN 4.5.25 and they are working again.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I just updated the Nook app on my Xoom. In the updates list, it doesn't mention anything about magazines...however imagine my surprise when I opened the app and see my magazines in the list waiting for me to download them.
Works flawlessly! Screw Zinio for not releasing their app across all devices. I can finally renew my subscriptions via B&N.
Nice. I just updated on my Xoom as well, and didn't see this so I haven't even opened the app yet since my update. In the middle of a nandroid backup right now, but gonna check it out as soon as it is done! Thanks for the heads up!
Just updated as well. Magazines look great in landscape!
any chance you could post the apk?
They look great now, but the bad thing is that now I have to see full page advertisements. Blah.
This is awesome. I've been waiting for B&N magazines to be properly supported for a while. Great news!
looks like the update got rid of the force closes when hitting the back button to leave a book. I prefer nook over kindle app if nothing else for the page animations and smooth transition. Great update and finally get to use the nook app all the time!
My only wish now is that they will make a widget that shows some of the books you have downloaded so you can scroll through them, like the Youtube widget.
Very nice update, but epub book covers won't show up in the library. Anyone know of a way to fix this?
Can someone post the apk please?
This makes me really happy.
The new app looks great, seems they updated the user interface for tablets too finally
Too bad it doesn't support "read to me" books... still need the stock NookColor for that.
Thanks for posting this, tried zinio but I've been wishing for B&N to make mags available in their app for some time. btw is it just me or is the app a little sluggish?
anyone know the answer that that other guy's epub cover question? It doesnt seem to show covers on books you side load. I loaded the same books into my girlfriend's nook 3g and it shows the covers on that.

I could investigate if you post the apk. We can't get the app outside of the US
Hey guys,
so I got the apk by downloading it with Market Enabler on my phone and then transferring the apk to my WiFi XOOM. Wish that Market Enabler worked on WiFi :\
Anyways, here is the apk for other Non-US members
Also, as for the sideloading question, I also could not see sideloaded epubs on the home screen. However, when you search for them with the magnifying glass in the top right, the epubs show up.
Hope that helps!
Cheers

I have a 3g nook as well, and the covers do not show up. If you browse your library of purchased items, you will see in the bottom LCD screen the covers of the books that you can scroll through. For items that are sideloaded, it does not show the covers in the LCD portion of the screen.
I just installed the posted nook app, and when you first open the book, the cover of the book isn't displayed. If you swipe to go back a page, it'll display the cover. It seems by default, it skips the cover.
It would be awesome to have the ability to display covers on the bookshelf, but I think B&N intentionally made it so it wouldn't display it. Aldiko is able to display the covers in the bookshelf view.

Anyone else having touch screen issues with the Nook App running on CM7? I can touch the Types drop down but when the choices appear, I have to touch "My Files" several times to select it. It takes a ridiculous number of tries, otherwise I wouldn't be posting it here. Same applies to the gears icon on the top right of the app. That is the icon you have to click for logging out. And I have to click it some 50 times for it to work.
I thought I had touch screen issues in those areas of my NC but I just had a chance to play with another NC and it had the same issue with the gears icon. My Files worked after a couple of tries.
I am not entirely sure what is going on. I like the app and will not mind switching to it (from FBReader) but this is driving me insane.
Yep, I have the same problems. I've given up on using that app, and just use Aldiko for my reader.
Thanks for chiming in. I now know I am not the only one.
This issue and the fact that it always starts at home and makes you pick a book every time you start are the two big annoyances with this app.
On the other hand, it looks gorgeous with smaller fonts and Amasis is a very readable font at smaller sizes. It even makes the other fonts render beautifully. So much so that even the sans-serif fonts look very readable and easy on the eye.
Oh and calling the brightness dialog fades the screen so you can't tell exactly what brightness you are getting. Seems like no one ever used the app in real life.
I have been using FBReader for a couple of weeks but I have only one font that is usable on it. I have tried Amasis and other Nook fonts but they don't render as well in FB as they do on Nook. FBReader is very plain and boring (yet functional) so I was considering switching. Yes I am vain and distracted easily.
Not only are you not alone, but others have commented on this since it came out.
It's a shame, because it otherwise is a good reading app. If it also read Nook magazines, I would buy more of them, but I'm about to switch to Zinio for magazines because I can't read them on the Nook app unless I go back to stock.
am I missing something? I read magazines fine on my app...

I had the same issue with the nook app with CM7, the screen in the too right (no matter what orientation you are holding it) is extremely unresponsive.
Its odd because I just changed over to Miui for nook and the problem does not exist any more. So it is obviously something with CM7 (but not Miui, which is based off CM7) I also believe I had the same issue with phiremod.
Also, have never had a problem reading magazines with any of the roms.

I had touch issues on my Nook app reading magazines. Eventually got it to work - but it wasn't easy to get it to load my magazines and respond to touch screen. Other apps were working just fine.
I hope they get it worked out - was kindof a PITA to deal with.
Cuhulin, have you looked into dual booting? Mine is set to dual boot between tock and CM7 since my 4 year old like the "elephant book" it came with.
mg1030, is this http://www.miui.us/ the miui you speak of? It seems intriguing. Are you running it from SD Card? Any pointers on how to install it to NC? It seems very iPhone like.
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.

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...

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.

Hi All,
I managed to use the method shown here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/themes-apps/play-store-amazon-5-4-0-root-t3669740 to download google play.
This worked well, and I managed to download and use apps from the play store. Eventually I decided to organise all my apps into folders, taking it from 2 screens of apps into 1. I then turned off the tablet overnight. After I rebooted this morning, everything worked normally, apart from the fact new apps downloaded from the store wouldn't have an icon appear. The apps still work perfectly, they just don't have icons on the screen which is mildy frustrating.
Any help on this would be great!

This is an increasingly frequent complaint with recent builds of FireOS 5.6, especially in the HD 10. Root cause is not apparent and there does not appear to be a durable workaround at the moment. My guess is a 'glitch' snuck into the stock launcher that will be addressed in a future update. Conspiracy minded members will claim Amazon is up to no good. Will see where it goes.
For now not much you can do other than wait for a fix or attempt to use a different launcher with accompanying pros/cons.

I just got my son a Fire 8 for xmas and it has the latest 5.6.0 software and I got all the google stuff installed and was working great. He downloaded a few games and apps with no issues then he downloaded 2 other apps (games) and they didnt get added to the home screen (stock fire launcher) and the only way to get to them is through the Play Store pretty much and then select Open from there. Is there any way to get them added to the home screen? They will show up in the recent apps but after you use a few other apps its gone. Its frustrating to say the least.
EDIT: I tried the force stop and clear data thing and it didnt work. Still missing app icons on the home screen. If I install Nova Launcher or something though they all show up in the app drawer. Im on the fence with this Amazon Fire at the moment.

I did not but I did delete the 2 apps and then later did a reboot and then just reinstalled them to see if it would have issues again and this time they both showed up on the home screen.

Hi, I just got my first fire hd 7th 'gen. I tired the hack and I do have google working on the it now, but like others here my apps on the home screen are not showing up ( the ones I installed the day of the hack are fine).. it is the apps I have installed the say after that are not showing up on the home screen, I had files ready to go but... HO hum!
what I call Add/Remove: they do show up, but unlike a phone or windows. I have no clue how to fix this. since it seems you can't drag and drop from a master folder within the system.
I have seen where you got your home screen working again, but I don't know enough about the Fire 7th Gen yet.. can you or someone be so kind to point me to the correct place where I will find the launcher?
better yet, tell me what the launcher is.
Also on the search, is there a way I can get a google toolbar installed? I dislike using bing. I have to say I do so love my Google tools. and I miss my google search bar I had on my cell phone..

I tired the hack and I do have google working on the it now, but like others here my apps on the home screen are not showing up ( the ones I installed the day of the hack are fine).. it is the apps I have installed the say after that are not showing up on the home screen, I had files ready to go but... HO hum!
what I call Add/Remove: they do show up, but unlike a phone or windows. I have no clue how to fix this. since it seems you can't drag and drop from a master folder within the system.
I have seen where you got your home screen working again, but I don't know enough about the Fire 7th Gen yet.. can you or someone be so kind to point me to the correct place where I will find the launcher?
better yet, tell me what the launcher is.
Also on the search, is there a way I can get a google toolbar installed? I dislike using bing. I have to say I do so love my Google tools. and I miss my google search bar I had on my cell phone..
