[Q] CM7 & Nook Kids Books

---

For those of you running CyanogenMod, do you still have the full B&N Reader experience? I'd love to run CM but my kids have books on the Nook Color. Not regular books but the nook kids books that only run on Nook Color and iPad.

unfortunately you have to stay on auto-nooter (rooted stock eclair rom) to keep the B&N stuff.

Right now the NOOKcolor app that comes with the stock OS and supports newspapers, magazines, and kids books does not work on anything but the stock OS. There is ongoing work to try to get it going under alternative ROMs. Subscribe to this thread for more info:

Unfortunately the best you can do right now is set up dual-boot between CM7 and stock.

Thank you for pointing that thread out to me. I absolutely will subscribe to it. That is exactly the kind of think I wanted to see. I very much appreciate it.

Let me make sure I get this right. Say you abandon B&N stock and run something like NookieFroyo or CM7 then download the B&N app from the market. The downloaded B&N app does not work on NF/CM7 ?!?!!

The Nook app works under CM7 but will not read magazines, newspapers, or books that self-read. This last one leaves out many good kids books.

The videos of CM7 I've seen on Youtube look fantastic, but if I can't read my Economist subscription, then it's a deal breaker.

I just rooted my NC last night with Autonooter and it's a real thrill to suddenly feel like I finally own my Nook Color (an un-rooted Nook feels more like Barnes and Noble is lending you the device). I'd love to go full throttle with something like CM7, but honestly, I primarily bought the NC as an eReader+ so I'm just happy to be able to play the occasional game of Angry Birds. Now, if Popcap will just get off their butts and release Plants v. Zombies for Android all will be awesome in my world.
