Sweet! I just did a fast grep on Google and it seems that the Nook runs Android! If so then it will be a far easier process to hack this thing than something else. Android is what runs the X10 too which I help write the software stack for.
The plot thickens... |

NookDevs have already teared down the nook and found the components, the list is here:
http://nookdevs.com/Teardown Also, I think its actually a mixture of Android/Linux coding, I don't quite know. Found the following information from the Teardown regarding it: "Software Appears to be running a generic Android image with B&N customization on top to hide the Android underpinnings Android 1.5 Cupcake Built Tue Dec 1 14:50:20 CST 2009 Linux 2.6.27 turboboot and u-boot boot loaders asound pvplayer ALSA 1.0.18a" Read more: http://nookdevs.com/Teardown#ixzz0zDWgh5ti Under Creative Commons License: Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike |

Great news. I think I will begin the design work. Hopefully, we can come up with something useful.

I have had my nook for several weeks now and still love it. But the one thing I really wish they would add would be the ability to change the font on ALL SCREENS, not just the books themselves.
Having limited eyesight, most times I cannot read the Daily page at all because of the font size ![]() Marie |

Don't get too excited. So far it looks as though they are ignoring the serious problems with organizing non-B&N content, the number one problem listed above in the poll. I would love to be wrong, but I doubt it. B&N seems to be trying to rival Apple in arrogance.

* faster input response - typing text and using the soft directional pad are both too slow
* in-line dictionary * unified book/document list |

I anticipate having about 1000 ebooks on my nook in a couple of years. I often reread. Sorting, searching and browsing are important for me since when I finish a book (or series) I am often looking for something to read right afterword. I am constantly running into the current published end of series and so look to reread to cut down on frustration. I don't like to reread a series more than once every 3 months on the high side. So I am constantly looking for books I haven't read recently that are interesting and suite my current mood. |
