Some things aren’t worth pursuing. MMV, obviously, but for $5 in a situation where caveat emptor would apply, the nuisance would be hard to justify. I also would expect an “all sales final” policy in that type of store, especially these days.

It sure can. My earlier post goes into detail of rooting and installing KoReader on the Nook, which can read ebooks just fine. It's not as "elegant" as the built in Nook reader, but it does its job very well, and has tons of extra features that stock readers just don't have. Anyone with an android phone should download it and take a look at it, just to get a taste of what ereaders could do. Koreader works for all Nook models, as well as Kindles, Kobos, and more. |

I personally like the stock Nook software, but I've never used KOReader, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing. |

You're probably not missing anything that matters. As long as you can turn pages with one tap and change the font size/spacing/etc. who cares about the niche stuff. lol. The experience is the same. It's all just words on a page.

Hi guys. Just an update: Even though I could bypass the Nook app registration prompt, the Nook ran like garbage. The RelauncherX is not ideal for the Nook GL+. It wasn't user friendly. I went a different route and installed a total custom firmware package here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/noo...mware-t4074347 It worked great on the first try. I'm much happier with this method instead of leaving the stock firmware on the device. It's more responsive, the UI is more user friendly for a Nook device, and I think that this is the way to go if you end up like me with a blacklisted device. It feels like a premium product now. Which it should, because if it wasn't blacklisted, it would've been. Downside is I can't access the Nook store, but Honestly I have always either bought from places like Smashwords, or done digital library borrows, so for me it's business as usual. |
