You could always provide a copy (or three) of adb, or require the user to install it themselves.

Yes, but that starts to complicate things. Especially the debugging.

I’m afraid there is no such path when connecting the Nook to my MacBook Pro. I tried turn on invisible files, but to no avail. I even typed the path in Terminal and it says “no such file or directory”. I did find, however, several database files (store.db or psid.db) through Easyfind. They are all located in an invisible .Spotlight–V100 folder. Anything else you would like me to try?

So that's why the script used ADB to access the "other" side of the Android device.

This complicates things as it means you need adb installed on the PC to access the database. |

Is there no hope at all then? I can’t believe there is no way of retrieving notes from an e-reader.

Blame Barnes & Noble and their design choices.

I found ADB for Mac:
https://code.google.com/p/adb-fastboot-install/ Should I install it? You’d have to tell me clearly what to do afterwards. Thanks. |

If you want to try, go ahead. Once it is installed and the device is connected, in a terminal window you can try running:
Code:
adb shell ls /data/data/com.bn.nook.reader.activities/databases/ If that works, then we can proceed to the next step. Which I suppose is getting a copy of the files listed to look at. This is done using the "pull" command: Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.bn.nook.reader.activities/databases/annotations.db /somewhere/on/themac/annotations.db And as a warning, I've never touched adb before, so I'm learning. And my Mac knowledge pretty limited as well. |

I installed adb and ran the first line of code you gave me. This is what Terminal says:
adb shell ls /data/data/com.bn.nook.reader.activities/databases/ * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * error: device not found My Nook was connected via USB and the display confirmed it was in USB mode when I ran this command. I am doing something wrong? |

I followed the instructions found here: https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-setup-adb-on-os-x/
Everything worked as explained, except no device found. Here’s what I got in Terminal: cd ~/Desktop/android android Nels$ ./adb devices * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached android Nels$ adb shell ls /data/data/com.bn.nook.reader.activities/databases/ adb server is out of date. killing... * daemon started successfully * error: device not found Any ideas? |

I'd say the first issue is
Code:
cd ~/Desktop/android android Nels$ ./adb devices * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached You did place the device in Developer mode and enable Debugging? |

It was attached. I don’t know how to enable the developer and debugging mode on the device itself.

The only instructions I can find for getting adb to work with a Nook Simple Touch are http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki...Installing_ADB. They are for Windows, but hopefully they translate to a Mac.

Sorry for the late reply. Things are quite busy at work at the moment.
I looked at these instructions, but it’s only for Windows. I did some research and found out that Macs do not need to have the USB driver installed. I looked and looked and simple does not understand how to put a Nook Simple Touch in developer mode to enable USB debugging. I’m sorry if I can’t get beyond that by myself. I don’t understand how these things work, but I am willing to try if I have simple and clear instructions to follow. For now, whatever I try in Terminal says that there is no device attached. |
