[REQUEST] B&N Nook Simple Touch forum

[neilix]

I've just got one of these as a birthday present and I have to say that I'm very impressed with the device, really surprised at the amount of dev/hack information around for it, and absolutely shocked that there isn't a sensible place for this info to be housed on XDA.

We need a sub-forum!

I would add myself to the list of people crying out for a Nook Simple Touch forum. I love my and may get rid of my tablet.

Powers to be have heard

After much wishful wishing the powers to be here caved in and created a Nook Touch Forum for us.

I honestly think any sort of CM on this would just be a waste. It's designed for reading and the built in software already does that pretty damn well. Plus there'd be a lack of space for anything significant like apps. If you want a better PDF reader or w/e you can root and install one. But I see no reason this hardware should get a whole new rom.

I disagree. Some apps just won't work on the current getup the device is on. The Kobo app doesn't work with purchased books (it was a similar problem with the Nook Color until CM was ported), and the Sony Reader app won't work because it requires 2.2+.

I'd love a 2.2 update simply because I'd like the ability to load apps on the SD card and run them from there. All of the app to sd programs I see require Android 2.2.

Gotta agree with this, unless it impacts the B&N software suite on the Nook. It's the most excellent reader software I've used.

Rumor has it that the e-ink might receive access to B&N's app store, which would possibly include a 2.2 update. It'll be interesting to see if there's any truth to said rumor.

I can't see that happening. They advertise this device as a "simple reader". I don't think they'll officially add their own apps.

While they originally did market this as a simple reader I'm sure B&N has realized the great potential as a "buisness" or productivity tablet. Unless I'm mistaken the NC was originally marketed as a color E-reader and now it's being advertised as a tablet. I hope B&N does open the app market and make some apps for the E-ink.

I can see tons of uses for this beast, given it's battery life. Lots of productivity applications don't need color.
