Any idea if this can be used to display nook's screen on a tv?

It would be really cool if it did, but as far as I know the Nook does not have MHL.

A micro USB connector is only five pins, but if it's implemented in the device they can be switched between:

• USB peripheral or host interface
• Analog audio headset with microphone
• MHL video output
• Debugging UART serial port

Unfortunately, the Nook has only been proved to support the USB interface.

USB to VGA

could this work?

It would be very interesting to get a USB to video adaptor working.
It might be a long road to getting it to mirror the Nook screen transparently.
The first step is to find something with Linux drivers.
The next step is to get it to expose its frame buffer on the system.
At that point, it would be possible to make an application to copy images between the two frame buffers.
Even that might have some utility for Power Point style presentations.

nook PC?

sounds plausible. would be also nice to be able to use Nook like PC.
