I'm using the Adata 8GB class 10 for extra storage in my NC and it performs very well. Put it in my eDGe and it was fine...albeit a little wonky in spots |

Radio Shack is a good place for SanDisk cards. Again, don't worry about it if they're class 2 or unclassed--just grab an 8 or 16GB card.

I just tried a pre-Class system 2GB Kingston with very impressive speed for everything but random writes, and it works great. So maybe you'll get lucky with one you have lying around. |

The reason I did this is very simple: Netflix, HBO Go, and better video support. I'm a reader, and the Nook Color is an excellent eReader ... but I had to work my way through the last season of Doctor Who somehow. That, and B&N's apparent belief that multi-level table of contents is for nerds... Last edited by LoganK; 09-26-2011 at 01:19 AM. Reason: Adding a comment about TOC. |

I bought a Nook Color last year. Loved it, but decided to root it. I installed 2.2 on top of the 1.2 update, and used it for a while. A few days ago, it refused to acknowledge the market at all. Whatever I did.
So I decided to return to stock, start from scratch and maybe put CM7 on from a card. After a bit of messing about with the 2 cards I had, I found one that worked and played around for a bit. Then I tried to reboot and it wouldn't start up. Reformatted the card, put the stuff back on it, and it wouldn't work. Got it to work, but when I plugged it into my computer, the pc wouldn't recognise it. Neither would Calibre (and if you don't know what that is, what are you doing with a Nook?). So I took the card out, loaded some books, and when I put the card back in, the NC stalled at the "Android" page. Wouldn't boot up. Reformatted the card, redid the install thingie and the NC refused to do anything at all. You know what? I'm tired of messing about with it, so that this doesn't work and that doesn't work. The Nook Color is a well-built, awesome book reader with an Internet option, and that's all I really need from it. If I want a tablet, I'll buy a tablet. But I can't see the point. I just bought a new ultra light laptop for traveling with rather than getting a tablet, and that's the device I'll use for watching movies, youtube and so on. People diss the original firmware on the NC, but it's really not bad at all. I'd love a free solitaire app, but apart from that, I'm pretty happy with it. (I live in the UK, so I can't buy the apps). |

Pinkie, sounds like you got a bad card - what size and brand were you using?
Installing CM7 is fairly easy and very stable. I've had mine installed since I bought it in March and have had no problems. But if you're happy as you are, then OK. |

Speak for yourself I tried making my own card. Twice. I couldn't get gapps to work. Twice. Finally threw in the towel and ordered the card. I'm reasonably computer savvy, although totally ignorant about Android. Still I had no issues with making the card, even got it to dual boot, aside from that pesky issue of getting gapps to work & Market to show up. Got tired of researching and trying fixes that didn't work. So I'm over it. Some folks value their time, and I've wasted far too much of mine on the DIY version to throw any more at it. Bring on the N2A card! I gladly paid them $25 or so for something that works properly out of the box - just wish I'd done it to begin with.

I don't think you can watch Netflix via the browser. Doesn't it rely on some plugin called silverlight? that is necessary to stream the content? I've got CM7 on mine and have no problems watching Netflix, but I also rarely use it. |

I think I am in the minority, but I still think I like the NC better than the new Kindle Fire tablet. I'm just waiting to see what B&N will do with the NC2. Carol |
