I haven't installed it. Get it from the Market and see if it works on the NOOKcolor. Some apps don't work.

Strange that only the Kindle app works. I'm not complaining.

The Sony app works as well with some tweaking to the AndroidManifest.xml file.
From what I can see, the Kobo and Borders (rebranded Kobo) app need Activities available from a "normal" android build which are unavailable from the BN launcher. Last edited by LeviTX; 01-27-2011 at 04:31 PM. Reason: pics and typos |

Yes, and yes. You extract the APK, edit the AndroidManifest.xml, change MinSDKVersion to 7 (aka 2.1), rebuild the APK, sign it, and go to town.
I haven't run into any "features" missing or non-functional from not running on 2.2 but I haven't really tried anything besides downloading the free Reader books I had on my account so far. |
