I downloaded
premodded-pre-configured-7_24-firmware-nchntr_experience_v1.html
so can I just save it to sd card?
also if I want to download apps like ereader do I just download the ereader_android_1-1.0.39.apk and save that to the sd card?
did I miss the post/thread on doing all this from sd card?

Well Assuming you can do it with the hacked firmware it is as easy as to load it to the sd card and press for 5 sec the power button and the up vol button at the same time then release. The unit will boot and read the new firmware. BTW leave it in zip mode. If it fails just restart normally and you should be fine. Worse case load a the official firmware in the same manner and it will fix anything that goes wrong. Haven';t heard of anyone actually bricking the device. The worst I have heard is that if everything fails unplug the battery (read the instructions on how to take cover off) wait a few sec and install again and it should take care of the issues.
Regarding the apps there are plenty of sites to download from (check list at slatedroid). I am not familiar with that app but you can install it directly from the site trough the Novel (I believe there is one permission that need to be activated to allow this) or like you said copy it to the sd card on install it. I think you need an file explorer for this but I am almost sure one will be included with the hack. Hope this helps and good luck.
