"Storefront: Nookbook Store
Flagship model: Nook Color
Supported file formats: eReader PDB, ePUB, PDF
Hidden perk: Connecting the Nook to B&N’s in-store WiFi grants you an hour’s worth of reading of any e-book title.
Price: $250 (Wi-Fi only)"
Why should I have to reformat all my mp4's because the nook software engineers couldn't figure out how to make their device compatable with their chosen format?
35 mbs/25 mbs
The problem is with the delay when you click the screen.
Yea, weight specs don't mean didley until you've spent some time with a device.
Do you work for Barnes and Noble?
If it's so fantastic why the need to root? |
I don't want to beat a dead horse about all of your arguments, so I will just say that if it isn't working out for you, you should probably return it and maybe look into something like the Pocketbook IQ (cheap alternative) or the ipad/Samsung Galaxy Tab (expensive alternatives).
Although rooting is certainly not required, it would solve all of your problems.
For example:
For your ereader.com books, you could install the ereader app. You could also install aldiko, Kindle, and Borders/Kobo.
For your video problems you could install Rockplayer (haven't tried it yet, but it should work). ***It's not so much the B&N software engineers that are fault as it is the limits of the stock Android video player. Still, they could have optimized it, and probably will in future firmware upgrades.
For your internet browser issues, you could install Dolphin HD (I really like that I can pinch zoom in it), Opera Mini, or Skyfire. Although, the stock browser has been fast and stable in my experience with it.
