Yes if you stuck to Aldiko, you would sideload your books in "/<blah>/Alkdio/import" directory. |
Aldiko can read Adobe DRM, but don't know it can read B&N DRM. Can anybody chime in? Here is the link
Aldiko home page (btw I spelt it wrong on the previous post.
Moon+ (
link) requires that you import the books into their library to get the icons navigation. But what I like about Moon+ is that you can load a book from three places like if it's one library. The net, local file system, and your local library. The net library is awesome since it supports tag search and automatically downloads the books to the Moon reader. Moon also has TTS, but this does not work on my nook only my phone and Tab. I have a calibre server setup at home and I have Moon pointing to it as a "Net library" this way I can use my server at home to do all my searches and can keep my local libraries small.

Oh you like sepia. I really do not like that setting, I always wondered if folks used it.. I gues they do
.
I've gotten use to night setting gray fonts black background. On my phone Samsung Vibrant the black gives off no light. It is awesome for reading at night, I never have to tweak the brightness because of it and the fonts are crisp at night. This is not the same effect on the nook. Because it is an LCD and not a AMOLED screen the black still gives of light, enough to keep my wife awake. So I end up reading on my 4" phone at night.

Really can you site a reference. I've visited their home page and there is no mention of it

Also I managed to scratch my nook in less than one week of owning it, and I didn't even give it the abuse I give my phone(my phone has been dropped and drop kicked several times--not on purpose mind you).
