Awesome news! Thanks again for all your hard work, Verygreen.

I got mine as a replacement for my TouchPad and it's been great. As others have mentioned, the slight loss of screen size is more than offset by the significantly improved battery life, high-res screen, solid stability and awesome development by verygreen. For anyone still on the fence, just do it!

FYI I picked up a $10 "Fintie" brand slim case off Amazon and it's awesome. Very basic but supports the Nook's open-to-wake feature and allows all buttons to be easily accessed. Only down-side is that the SD card slot isn't accessible but I'm not swapping cards at all so that isn't an issue for...

I'm also curious about this feature and didn't see info on this elsewhere in the forum. I did some googling and the only mention I can find is someone discussing that this feature was removed in the latest Android. I'd post the link but since I have too few posts that feature is blocked for me...

As others have mentioned, the boot problem appears to be tied to some hardware difference between individual units. I tried my SD card on a buddy's unit and it worked first try. Exact same SD card took 30+ tries on mine!

Thanks for the great guide, e.mote! Except for a bit of finickiness around the micro-SD card everything went great (had to try around 20 or 30 times before it would boot to card!).

Thanks for the advice! After about 30 tries I was finally successful getting mine to boot up with a Samsung 8 GB card. For those having trouble: keep trying! The time that worked I both blew on the contacts and inserted it particularly hard. Felt like I was fiddling with an old NES :laugh...
