Possible to get pressure sensitive stylus for Nook HD?

Roseweave · 12-01-2013, 01:00 AM

Just wondering. I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet which I use for digital painting etc. but it would be nice to be able to draw with my tablet on the go too. Is it possible to do this? Maybe some sort of bluetooth device, I'm not sure.

Most pressure-sensitive Android stylii use Bluetooth, which the Nook should be able to use if it has Bluetooth. I've seen reviews saying Bluetooth works well but haven't tried it myself. There are some pressure-sensitive styluses that use soundwaves and those won't work without a microphone.

The touch screen on the Nook HD isn't pressure sensitive. There are several painting and drawing apps on Google Play that are supposedly compatible with the Nook HD although I've never tried them. For example, this one is listed as being compatible: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nterfull&hl=en

It's not the screen that's pressure sensitive generally.

Exactly. There are many Bluetooth styluses and some soundwave styluses that don't depend on the screen being able to do anything. With a Bluetooth stylus, the app compatibility is the important part, because the app has to be able to talk to the stylus and vice versa.
