Right on. Definitively not as easy as downloading straight from the device, and a challenge for shell-phobics, but not an insurmountable task nevertheless.

So, I can't legally install the one program I wanted this tablet for. I am amazed the app store didn't have it. Amazon does. I'll take this back and cancel the credit card they gave me. Don't really want another Fire. No SD Card slot. Now that it is illegal to root any device, even your own, there really isn't much point in owning any of these things. I am sure that somehow these things will phone home to Big Brother and if they don't get a certain signal, it alerts them you have rooted it. I most certainly figure a stupid tablet isn't worth prison time so back it goes.

On November 20th, I will probably forget about the larger nook when I'm playing with the large Fire at best buy or elsewhere.
In the meantime, I'll be thrown out of b&n shortly hogging the nooks. I try to store hop buying more time. |

I have the 32GB HD +. It's a nice tablet, but of course you can't download anything on it unless you have a credit card and it comes from BN. I did try the method above and it doesn't work you get a message stating, "Install blocked. For security, your NOOK is set to block installation of applications not obtained from the NOOK App Store."
I need a free PDF reader and how I can load apps I've paid for on my rooted Nook color tablet. |

This why adb access is significant:

Can you "sideload" actual - books - that have not been infected with Adobe DRM? At that point in the review where I thought he would say something about it, the author points out all the wonderful options for books: Overdrive, B&N DRM, Adobe DRM, a newfangled 3M Library DRM... but I'm not yet seeing that dropping DRM-free books on the HD filesystem will work like it did on the Nook Color. |

But yes, an explicit mention that you *can* sideload content even if you can't sideload apps would be reassuring. Maybe the next review to pop up... |

The local Target have the Nook HDs at a discount. The HD+ is $16.00 off the $299.00 price. I picked one up. The only one they had.
The other Nook HD's were also discounted, but I did not look to see how much off they are. Apache |

Now, as I ponder the reality of multiple-profiles on a Nook HD, "security", etc, and the requirement of at Least Windows Media Player 11 to communicate with the Nook HD's main storage, I'm thinking that if this ends up in my house, I'll either need to drop non-DRM'ed books on the SD Card (which never worked before in NookLand), or teach him to use Dropbox in the browser. (And I say this after having found the User's Guide online. It's still not clear.) |

Speaking of sideloading, does anyone know if you can play sideloaded videos? I played with one at Target, and saw the movie trailers they have loaded on it, but it would nice to have that beautiful screen be able to play my own movies. The Tablet and Color had a horrible movie player that would never keep my place in a movie I was watching, and the music player was just as awful, so you'd think with the competition from Google, Amazon, and Apple in the 7" arena, they'd at least try to improve on that multimedia functionality. Then you'd think that with a brilliant screen and faster processor, they'd finally get some action/racing apps, like the other tablets have, or at least provide occasional discount pricing on all the $3 apps, as Apple and others do.
