Nook Color available at US Staples stores

taosaur · 04-29-2011, 12:39 PM

Some of you may have seen the press release that Staples will start carrying the NC in May--I called the store down the street yesterday, and they just got them in and were setting up the display.

I was sorely tempted to run right down there, but decided it would be smarter to get rent and a bill or two squared away first, as well as see how much I spend on the road this weekend.

Man, I'm still scheming ways I could have it nownownow

I waited, and researched and schemed! Almost bought a Pocketbook 701, then finally, thanks to this site, I got a Nook Color that was gently used from another member! I love it! And I use a micro SD card with another OS on it, so it is like two tablets in one! Sooooooo worth it!

Yeah, I pulled the trigger. Screw self-discipline!

This blog breaks down the options for running different Android versions on the NC quite well: http://quinxy.com/guides/how-to-pick...stall-options/

And you can see one of our members figuring out the process of booting from SD in this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=130853

I'm finding the stock OS pretty underwhelming. I'm on the road with infrequent WiFi access and no SD card, so my options are limited to what I can sideload over USB, and I haven't had much time with the web browser. I'm somewhat interested in keeping the kids' book and magazine functionality, though browsing magazine titles, it looked like nothing but fluff--no Nature, no Atlantic Monthly. I'll probably keep at least a small stock partition and dual boot PhireMod as my main OS.

My local Staples had a sidewalk sign announcing the NOOK color for sale when I drove by this weekend.
