Default nook app on fire

Has anyone tried to side-load/use the nook app on the fire? My fire is on the way, so I haven't tested yet. Coming from a nook, I really want to be able to carry over my existing library.
Also, has anyone found a good epub reader? I have a ton of unlocked epub files on my nook that I would also like to utilize.

When you get market running just down load the Nook reader. Or side load it. Works fine.

aldiko and fbreader are both great epub readers. There are many many more though. I can confirm aldiko plays well with the KF.

I did it, I installed directly from the Android Market. You could sideload it too.
The app opens, I can sign in, but I haven't been able to download any of my books to the Kindle Fire.

the nook app works great for epubs, i was using aldiko but decided to try the nook app and like it much better. you can add all of your epubs super easy with something like root explorer.

Working great for me. I actually llike it better than the kindle reader. It is especially nice for magazines.

Has anyone tried copying the cache over from another device? I'm going to give that a try tomorrow to get my purchased books.

Edit: I downloaded/TB/Side Loaded the nook app on my fire and tried to download/read purchased books. So far I have downloaded and opened 3 books, I had previously purchased, without issue.
