It took hours to download the Kindle app and she is not having any luck getting the Nook app. The preloaded Android apps seem to be working fine. I have read a lot of forum notes on many sites and only become more confused. So I have a few basic questions before we give up.
Should we have Calibre downloaded? If so, is it a direct download to the NC or to a PC and then to the NC? Is there any particular action we need to take that once Calibre is installed for the NC to be recognized a removable drive? Does increasing the clocking actually speed up performance...i.e. downloads or just execution of apps?
Calibre DOES NOT run on a reading device like the Nook.
Calibre is to manage your Library on a Windows/MAC/Linux PC

Since your friend was so helpful, get him to help install the 'other' reader software
(One of the reasons that I DO NOT recommend 'non-traditional software installs' to a novice user is: I will need to support that user
