[Q] Nookmanager and other questions

Many thanks to Jeff_kz for the excellent Nookmanager. I just set it up on my UK NSTG 1.2.1 and everything seems to run well.

I have a few questions. Keep in mind that I'm a newb and that I have gone through the forums looking for answers but can't find any.

1) How do I get ReLaunch to stay on /system and not on /sdcard?
2) I tried deleting some stock apps, starting with demomode.apk to be safe, but after delete and confirmation nothing happens, how do I delete them? After that, can anyone confirm that these are all safe to delete? And could someone identify the Amazon app store for me, since I can't find that one to delete?
3) How can I install ES File Explorer? (Will that replace ReLaunch?)
4) The only apps I really need are Pocket/Read It Later and a pdf viewer, so I don't think the NTGAppsAttack is for me. Once I have ES File Explorer, will I be able to install Pocket using an old .apk file loaded onto the nook via sd? Or will I need to use adb? And where is a guide for installing apps?

Many thanks in advance!

Did you remount system read-write before trying to delete?

I doubt it. Could you explain how?

Amazon app store is data/app/com.android.venezia.apk

Not on mine. In fact, there is nothing in /data. A lot of apps are in /system/app but not this one.

Install the apk using adb.

I followed some tutorials on this, but I haven't gotten adb to work on my computer yet. Did anyone else have this problem with their nook?

Since I can't use adb: am I really stuck without it? Or should I use your GApps tools? (My problem with using the GApps tool is it includes a lot of things which I don't want/need.)

Thanks for the help so far.
