I'm loving CM7 and having netflix is amazing but not having the nook app really hurts.
I can log in fine. It sees my library but when I try to download the books from my library I get the message "Problem downloading this item. Please try again Later."
I'm able to download the free-be books just fine, just not the one's I've purchased for other devices. Also, I can't seem to find any books I've side loaded onto the nook.
Any ideas?
Btw, I'm on the nightly 217 though I had the same problem with an older version as well.
Try installing CM7.1 as the stable is out now.

No dice. Still forces closes for me on 7.1 and the newest nightly too (217).
Ok, 2 people with different issues.....
cinciblue6, try fixing permissions. If that does not work you need to tell us more. Any other apps causing force closes? What version of the Nook app are you using? Did it ever work? Can you recall when it stopped and what you had recently done?
Tapiozona, when you sync it do all your books show up? What version of the app are you using? Sometimes I find if I long press the book and choose show details and then the download button from the new screen if goes through anyway.
@patruns
My problem is slightly different. Mine can download books just fine but when I try to open them, it force closes. Not sure when it stopped working. I would guess sometime after nightly 197 (though I went straight to 210 after that.) VLC Remote also does not work (though I just dled that last night so it never has.)
Tried fixing permissions but it didn't do anything to help the situation.
Edit: I may have updated the Nook app recently. I'll check to see.
Try signing out of the B&N app, then reboot and sign back in. You will have to re-download any books you wish to read though. This was also required when updating the app last month.

Did it before and just did it again and still no dice.
I'm gonna do an uninstall and reinstall and see if it works. If not, I guess I'll just wait to see if it ever starts working. I have a regular Nook so it's not a big deal but for magazines I prefer the NC.
Thanks for the help.

I fixed this issue for a customer the other day, it happened because the credit card associated with the account had expired. Log in to the B&N website and try changing your credit card on file and see if that helps.

Hi All,
Just wanted to get feedback on a problem that just occured today. So I had my Nook Color for about two months now, and pretty much autonooted it the first day I got it using Autonooter 3.0. Device was 1.1 out of the box. Everything worked fine, youtube, gmail, market and gtalk.
However today, when I tried to update and download some apps via market, it would just get stuck and downloading and stay at 0% with no completion. I also noticed that my google talk would also refuse to sign in anymore. Strange thing is my youtube and Gmail still work. Any thoughts or feedback anyone?
thanks for reading!
Sounds like a google problem, but you might consider deleting the data associated with those apps if your feeling adventurous.

What do you mean by deleting the data associated with those apps?
So what do people think that:
[REF] READ BEFORE POSTING »»Non-Development Related Threads Will be DELETED««
means anyway ??
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
How to get if in Canada
Whats the best way for a Canadian to get this app since the Market restricts it.

I spoke to one of the Nook app devs about the near impossible task of pressing the buttons in the upper right corner, when they released the beta of this last week. He said they are working on fixing this.

Look up Market Enabler in Google Market. Tricks Google Market into thinking you're in the US.

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

That was a great solution and worked like a charm. I'm hoping to find the APK somewhere so I can load it on my Transformer.

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.
Every time I run Netflix, it says there is a new version and it wants to update. But if I click OK, it just says a required component is missing and then goes back. What's up with that? Should I do an uninstall and reinstall? I know this thing seems to be constantly on and off the market, so I worry about doing that.

Hit Cancel or No. Watch movies. Profit.
Hmm...it almost seems too simple.
Granted, it works as-is, but it just sort of annoys me.
I have run into the same issue. I simply copied the current, up-to-date Netflix apk off of my Droid and put it on the SD card of the Nook. Installed it from there and everything is up-to-date with no annoying notifications.
I was having the same problem. I am running CM7 nightly off SD. Netflix was not showing in the market so I could not update. I searched and found this file --"com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk". I loaded the app to the SD card using Samba Filesharing app and installed it. It updated Netflix, no more problems. Hope this helps
Cool. Thanks, guys.
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...

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.)
The new Music section has popped up for me and everything works great, except when I try to actually get a song. For instance when trying to get a Free song I tap the Free button and get taken to the Purchase screen just like for Apps and Movies but before the accept button appears I get a "failed to retrieve information from server" error and get bumped back to song info. Going to the Market site with a Desktop UA let's me go to the same Free song and get it so that limits the possibilities. I already tried wiping Market data. Anybody else with similar problems?

I am having the same issue on my Xoom. Followed the same procedure a couple of times. Looks like this is a pretty common issue whenever they do a new market release. Hopefully they get it working soon though, the free song of the day is sweet. Does anyone have an alternate work around?
Well it's working for me now, don't know why it's suddenly working.
For people who are still having problems just open the Market in a Web Browser and use that. If you get automatically pushed to the Market App when trying to go to http://market.android.com then go to "Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market-->Clear Defaults".
