I just assumed the Color worked the same as the Tablet. I don't use Windows Media Player either. I use Calibre! |

Can I widdershinsload my e-theric essences? It's especially important at full moon and syzygy.

If anybody is feeling adventurous, the XDA crowd have hacked the HD+ to get persistent root control that survives reboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1991125 Fairly simple: you enable ADB and run a batch/script file from Windows or Linux. More fun and games to come, apparently. |

As long as I can load Comic Rack and Mantano then I'm all for the new Nook HD+

Nope..you can sideload apps via adb. And for the person that mentioned Mantano, I've been using it on my HD+ for about 10 days now and it mostly works. The top of the Mantano menu bar is partially covered by the Nook's title/status bar, so it can be tough to hit certain buttons. But the bottom toolbar while reading a book is fine. Sometimes Mantano has trouble resuming if you exit then try to open it again. Sometimes it force closes, and other times I have to kill it. But despite that, I still use it as my main reader on the HD+

These are different issues. Rooting and enabling "Unknown sources" would allow you to install apps directly from the device (from the browser, Dropbox, Amazon appstore, ...). However, if all you need is to sideload from the PC, root is not required.

Plus root should let you install alternate launchers and let one of them be the default. |

I have a Nook HD+ you can play side loaded videos. You just have to make sure it's a supported format.
