by the way, where did you get the e-version of the Ignatius Catholic RSV Study Bible? BN doesn't have it.

Ignatius Press in their ebook section. Only appeared a few weeks back.

It was moved because the Kindle app and the other stuff you/we mentioned doesn't apply to the stock device.

Thanks Scion. Well, it is not my forum, so happy to live by the rules. But an odd decision still. If I see the title "Nook Developers forum", I think of people like the Nook Devs who produce new ROMs and images and code things. I would not visit it normally unless I wanted to be involved in such activities. However, am I still reading I would think would be in the main place.

Oh well.

I understand. The reason for the distinct line in the sand is because many with non-rooted devices were clicking on threads (based on titles) that didn't pertain to them.

Odd decision, but not a problem.

The main forum is for discussion of stock, unmodified Nook issues only. Rooting and discussion relevant to rooted Nooks goes in this forum.

The name is pretty weird -- I think it was named that way because that is how the modified Kindle forum was named and they chose it to be consistent with that rather than choosing a name that fits better here. I think it has a poor name, too. At first it didn't even have the word "rooting" in the subheading!

Reading? I wonder if the Nook Color would do this?

volwrath · 01-13-2011, 08:59 PM

Yes Maybe tonite I will try this thing called reading on my NC

So like the opening line of a bad joke.

"So this Catholic Guy is dating this Mormon girl. .."

Finding electronic books of Catholic works has been near impossible for me, I recently found the Latin missal in PDF format at the right price $0.

Do you happen to have a link where you bought the book?

Thanks in advance,

I've been enjoying this thread even though I'm not rooted. I was wondering how much people use their rooted NC's for reading versus other tasks. I know all those apps would be distracting for me! I suppose it's like any new gadget that you can't stop playing with in the beginning. I know my ereader sat idle for a short while when I was setting up my iPhone.

Thanks in advance,

Here is a bookstore that has a large selection of Christian ebooks. You can filter by Catholic as a category in the left column. They have subcategories under Catholic too.

You guys are too funny!

A rooted NC is just like getting a toy to play with all over again. At first I was distracted because I was marveling over all of the extra stuff the device could do, but eventually, all of that got old, and I just wanted to do what I bought the NC for--to read.

I wanted extra reading functionality within it, and rooting it gave that to me. Downloading library books, putting sideloaded books directly on the homescreen, and other features made it a nearly perfect device for reading.

Classic Nook is used during the day, the Nookcolor is used at night.

I've spent way too much time playing with my nook......compared to reading with it......I'm a total ereader newbie..........between rooting, setting it up, trying to figure out all the different apps, library book set up and jumping on the net for no particular reason (mostly this forum).......even later at night which has typically been my reading time, I might even end up surfing.......I've still managed to finish 3 books since xmas so far though......and just pulled down Bad Blood from the library....which will certainly go quick......

Absolutely love my NookColor.......

Thanks in advance,

Kindle version: http://www.amazon.com/Ignatius-Catho.../dp/B003RWSARS

epub Ignatius Study Bible: http://www.ignatius.com/IProducts/36...testament.aspx

Enjoy. The navigation is really good in the Kindle app. I assume it will be just as good in an epub app.

In any other forum that would raise a couple eyebrows.

(looks like I better grab a copy of that Study Bible PH had mentioned)

SCION · 01-13-2011, 10:45 PM

Silly!

The Joker · 01-13-2011, 10:53 PM
