I doubt that very much, but wouldn't it be funny if in a couple of weeks we find out that those goodreader "sources" were on the money, and Sony really decided to pull a nook out of the hat... |

Many of the incompatibilities with apps on rooted Nooks come from lack of full android hardware compliance. I shrug because I don't particularly care but when it comes to generic Android hardware my suggestion to those that ask me is to make sure the device has at least menu, home, and back dedicated hardware buttons. Page turn buttons are nice, but not what I'm talking about. If anything, they are a further deviation from the reference design. (Most android devices have volume buttons that apps can use for page turning.) Just saying; I don't have a horse in the race either way. I sorta like the Nook touch and the Sony 950 but nowhere near enough to buy anything from either line. Last edited by fjtorres; 08-12-2011 at 07:31 AM. |

That said, using Android on an eReader is more about getting a standard Linux with a lot of drivers and such aimed at mobile devices. It's less about contributing to the platform by being a full Android device. This is a side effect of Android being OSS. |

I must be late for the party. What did goodereader.com do to get into trouble here?
