Have you tried hitting the power button without letting it go to sleep first? Now you have me curious as to whether or not it's format dependent. |

I now shut off my nook at the furthest point read, without exiting the book. When I turned it on and selected reading now the nook again took me to the correct page. I selected Bookmarks and my new bookmark was there and it took me to the page I tested the highlight and note (which was also there). Once again this a Fictionwise PDB DRM's book and my firmware is the older one 1.1.0. I also suspect that it may be the format. I will look for an Epub book to try also... Just tried it with an Epub book I got from Feedbooks (No DRM). The nook retains the furthest read page no matter if I turn it off at that page or exit the book. However, highlights, notes and bookmarks disappear on shut down both ways. So for my firmware I retain the furthest read on Epub and lose bookmarks and highlights. On PDB books I retain everything. So for me it looks like the problem is with the implementation of the Adobe Reader.... Last edited by Musicman; 01-09-2010 at 04:37 PM. Reason: Epub Tried |

Okay. Odd development. I downloaded an FW multi-format PDB. It worked just fine. Open the book, move to some interior page, hit the power button. When I hit it again it's still there and on the same page.
So I tried it with one of my FW epubs. And again, it works flawlessly, whereas it normally doesn't unless I exit the book and just let it go to sleep. So what's different? Well, for one, I'm at home, where I have both 3G and WiFi connectivity. Normally, I'm on the subway, where I have neither. Sometimes, I'm at the office. AT&T doesn't work very well in downtown NYC (though VZW kicks butt there) and I don't have WiFi set up. So the behavior actually seems to be connectivity-dependent, rather than format dependent. My next step is to try it with the radios off. |

"Your nook must be on or sleeping to charge. When your nook is off and you plug it in to charge it, your nook turns on. Do not turn it off again; it needs to be on to charge. If you are not using your nook, it will sleep and continue to charge." The User Guide also recommends wall charging over USB charging - which is slow, and requires you to unmount the nook drives from your computer (the Unix/Mac equivalent of making a usb drive safe for removal on the PC) before it will go out of data mode. It will not charge while it is in data mode. Hope this helps. -Jean K. |

Right to left should take you forward 1 page (as in turning a page from right to left). A small, fairly quick, and approximately 1.5 inch stroke in the lower right area of the touch screen works for me. Hope this helps. -Jean K. |

I've just got the swipe thing working too...yes, have to swipe quite quick.. in any area of the LCD. Swipe gently, no need to press hard on the LCD, and very small stroke also works.

I tried it in airplane mode. It still works fine--right now. The only conclusion I can draw is that they designed it specifically to work at my house--with secret GPS tracking designed to make it go flakey when I leave.

That does help. Although i find it to be kinda stupid. Not sure why they would design it to have to be on to charge. |

The charging limitation is a basic function of using a USB technology to charge the device. USB does not allow transfer unless there is a valid functioning on device at both ends. I have ran into this with many usb powered devices. The ac charger for most devices has something on them that forces the device to wake up or can bypass this.

Well, that's been done before -- japanese-spec Nissan GT-R has no speed limiter only when GPS senses it's on a race-track. If your house is the size of the japanese race-track, I envy you.
