I like the default ebook reader due to its real book like feeling, the turn page animation etc ..
Only problem is , Can the font be changed to something better.. Or can anybody suggest a better reader for the tab.
I personally like FBReader . It needs some tinkering with settings but it's my favorite . It can read books straight from zip file . For font changing I really like to use absolute system root tools apk https://market.android.com/details?id=com.canvs2321.absolute.system&hl=en
P.S. They claim it is not compatible with any samsung device but i run it on mine .
Did anyone ever work out a solution for this? Since the ICS upgrade, the standard font on the Samsung ebook reader is really awful. I'd love to be able to install other fonts - I can't understand why this feature would not be standard in fact, at the very least to be able to choose a serif or sans-serif font.

I'm guessing I'm out of luck here, but anyone know if there's any chance that the Nook Tablet will somehow be able to read cbr files, prior to rooting?
There are numerous apps in the google app store that read cbrs, but I'm not sure barnes and noble will offer any. And if not- does that mean we're totally out of luck until someone roots the nook tablet?
Thanks in advance for any info anyone may have.
I don't know if this will help much, but I just recently found out that Calibre can convert CBR/CBZ to epub. The Nook Tablet will be able to read that with no problem. I have no idea how that would affect the comic (quality or size) or if we would be able to do simple things like zooming in to read it easier though. That's how I was planning on reading my comics for a while, at least until there is a root available.
CBZ files actually work
If you just drag over CBZ files they actually work on the Nook Tablet natively. CBR and CBZ files are just archives. CBZ files are Zip files, and CBR files are RAR files. To get a CBR working change the file extension to RAR, unrar it, zip the folder, and change the .zip to .cbz. Then just drag your new cbz over to the folders on your nook tablet and it should render the comic!
Huh okay, I'll try dragging some CBZs onto the nook and if that works, maybe I'll convert some more CBZs.
But man I sure hope this thing gets rooted soon. I'd love to be able to use the fancy features of actual dedicated comic viewers.
Anyhow, thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
I had no idea the nook read cbz's natively but I tested this and it works great.
I did it before reading this thread so my process was a tad different but this should work too.
Just connect the NT to your pc and move all the cbz's you want to any of the folders (i put mine in Magazines). After disconnecting, you can just go to your library and you'll see them all in the Magazines tab.
until there's a root out I guess I can use this thing as a comic book reader. Most books look great, some you have to zoom a bit in to read clearly, depends on the scans.
Look at the thread I was able to install astro right here in general then just sideload your favorite comic app
Follow these steps:
-go to http://comptonsoft.com/test/ in Nook Browser
-click "TGPS_launcher"
-open Notifications and select the Download
-select "Package Installer"
-Check "Unknown Sources"
-Now Download and Open the Following APKs just like you did above except now it'll let you install them
File Expert:http://db.tt/aYsJwQrd
Perfect Viewer:http://db.tt/aYsJwQrd
PDF-Plugin for PF:http://db.tt/jyf4DLbx
Now just open Nook Search and type in "Perfect Viewer" or "File Expert" to open the Apps. Copy your CBZs to your Nook like Normal and then just open Perfect Viewer to read them.
You can also install Amazon Appstore this way and install GO Launcher for more easy access to these Apps. For more info read the other Thread that is talking about this trick.

I use the method above, works perfect for viewing comics. Perfect Viewer is my choice, when you open the app just navigate to where you keep your cbzs and open them. Swipe to the left to go to the next page and to return to the file manager instead of pressing the home button (which returns me to the nook homescreen) just double tap the page your reading quickly and it should bring you back to the file manager

yep, got that. but since nook reads cbz's natively that is way way way way more work than necessary. especially since the native reader is decent and is connected to the shell of the OS.

I personally find that Perfect Viewer has a better experience when it comes to Comics and Manga because of some specialized features. I really like all the hidden controls that you can customize because it makes for more of a seamless experience.

Agreed 1000%.
Apps like Perfect Viewer were created specifically for reading comics and offer fairly specific features to enhance the reading experience. Whereas the Nook's native method of viewing comics is just a your basic image viewer. It does the job, but in the most generic, serviceable way. The bells and whistles of the actual comic viewing apps tend to make reading comics on android devices much more enjoyable.
That's my take on it anyhow.

ok ok ok i'll give perfect viewer a go...
any other ones worth trying?
Android Comic Viewer is fairly decent.
And Comic Reader Mobi is excellent, though a tad pricey. Last time I checked it was 14.99 or so, which is probably more than it should be. But it's a very well made app. It allows you increase the size of very specific parts of the page (like just the dialogue bubbles) rather than just zooming into the entire page. I find that far less distracting.
But honestly, Perfect Viewer will probably suit your needs, well... perfectly.
I'm using Comixology's app on my NT. I just did a backup of the apps from my Evo 3D using Astro, copied the files from my SD to my desktop PC and then copied the files over to the NT. Using a file system app, I just double clicked on Comixology and it installed without an issue. Works great!!
ComicRack Will Convert CBR to CBZ
I just converted all of my comics to CBZ as I wanted to be able to read them (sideloaded) when using the B&N OS. ComicRack converts the file types pretty painlessly. The B&N stock app reads them pretty well so if you're not set on keeping the format, using ComicRack is very easy (and free).
My favorite is ComicRack. It has a free edition, so all you need to do is sideload your comic files and tell the reader where to find them.

Hi. Actually I just found out that all you need to do is: zip the complete set of comic pages into ONE zip file then just change the suffix from .zip to .cbz and voilà! Your cbz file is now readable on the Nook. Cbr won't work though.

That's because CBRs are RAR archives. RAR is a proprietary format so using it in products requires licensing it and using proprietary libraries or plugins.
Android however supports ZIP natively and no licenses are needed.
I'll admit I'm a complete noob to android or any smart phone....so be gentle!
I bought a NT for my daughter's Christmas present and have rooted it with Indirect's method following Albert's videos. Excellent stuff and everything went as planned. I loaded Go Launcher and debloated #1 option.
The device will be used primarily for an ereader so the first 2 apps I downloaded were Kindle and Nook for Android. The Kindle fires up just fine, but when I tap the Nook nothing happens. The stock Nook ereader is accessible if you are in another application and hit the 'n' and go to library, but I'd like to have it on the main page in a folder with Kindle. Is there any way to get a Nook reader app on the main page?
I have purchased Root Explorer so if I need to move / modify something I should be ok.
Not sure what the debloater removes, but is the Library icon still available in Go Launcher's app drawer? If so, just long press on it until you see the option at the bottom "Drag to Screen" (or something similar), drag it there and Go Launcher will zoom out to show all of your active screens. Drag the icon to one of them and it will stay there.
Pressing that should get you to the same place as the Library option on the nook menu that comes up when you press the 'n'
Using AnyCut, I believe the stock Reader app is actually Nook Viewer. However- it doesn't have any menus or UI elements of its own. I believe this is why when you're in it, there's no available menu/file functions. By itself, it's just a white screen.
So basically, I think Library is the only practical way to link directly to the stock reader. There's also a 'Books' app that can be added as an Application shortcut, but it's a pretty limited preview of the stock Library.
Alternatively, you could use a third party book reader like Moon Reader, Aldiko (has a very nice bookshelf/library feature of its own) or Mantano Reader Free (ditto).

After flashing my Nook Tablet to CM10, I've come to realise how superior the Stock Reader and Library was to any 3rd party app (I've tried several, and nothing works as elegantly with epub, pdf and cbz as the stock Library & Reader did. It's considerably better than even the Kindle (App and device.) The Kobo App is decent, but way too invasive with its ads and recommendations. Has anyone tried porting the stock library & reader app to CM10? I tried installing the Library & Reader APK from the 1.4.3 update, but it doesn't install.

Yep, I didn't like how moon+ handled my files, and didn't like the interface.
Most readers get close, but want to "import" your files , some just create a database (which is fine) some like to move or copy your epubs into their own directory (e.g. Kobo). I want to copy my epubs to a standard directory, and for the reader's "Library" or browser to see the files there. I also want smooth page transitions.

Moon+ doesn't actually move any files anywhere during the import process if that's what you think. You can specify which folder to look at for all your storage. That's exactly what I do.

And a new update just added support for CBR and CBZs with smooth-scrolling thumbnails. Maybe you should give it another go? (And I found that fiddling with the MANY tweaking options for page transitions gave me exactly the level of smoothness, speed, etc., that I was looking for. After that, I saved new default day and night custom themes. I can't say enough good things about Moon+.)
My favorite ereader is still fbreader the minimalist interface is superior to many of the fancy looking ones plus it opens by default it the last read book which is important if you only have a few minutes to read.

Does Moon+ handled DRM'ed ePubs? My library uses Adobe Digital Editions for lending ePub files, and I've only been able to open them in Aldiko, though otherwise I like the Moon+ interface better. I don't want to plonk down $5 for Moon+ when the free version of Aldiko handles my specific need...

When I try to open a DRM'ed file in Moon+ free, all I get is an error message with a link to search for how to bypass ADE's DRM. That puts a bad taste in my mouth -- effectively they're saying "We don't want to add support for reading DRM files. Here's how to break the DRM, instead."
Aldiko give an error message if you haven't registered you SD card with your ADE credentials. If you have, opening an ADE file is totally transparent.
I guess that decides it for me, then. I'll stick with Aldiko, instead.

This is my #1 fear in upgrading from rooted stock w/ go launcher to CM10. No matter what happens, my tablet is still primarily a book reader... and I happen to love the stock reader.
Is there a specific reason as to 1. Why it won't install and 2. Why the nook app for android isn't the same?

I figured this topic deserved a post of it's own, so as not to get lost within the CM7 support thread, so I created it.
The only real concern I had, before switching to CM7, was what about Adobe PDF ebook format? There is some DRM in there that can only be opened (as far as I can tell) by the stock B&N Reader app. So I suppose my questions are these:
1.Is the stock B&N Reader app already included in the CM7 ROM? If so, can it open Adobe PDF ebook format?
And if not, then...
2.Are there any other (vanilla Android) app(s) that can open these kind of files?
3.If you backup the stock B&N Reader app (using TiBu, etc.), then restore it back into your newly installed CM7, does it still work with the Adobe PDF ebook format (and possibly other forms of DRM as well)?
Apparently, this Adobe PDF ebook is one of the predominant formats used by libraries to allow checking out of materials available electronically (something I have just been looking into lately) and so I thought it would be an important issue for others as well.
1. No, it's not supported
2. Try with ezPDF Reader
3. No

Yes Adobe's Digital Addition it is very important.
Without this capability you will limit your access to reading material to basically purchased; I think you will find the BN free book list wanting. I limit my book purchases to a few authors (the electronic books are expensive compared to printed from what I can tell they can not be resold).
The Adobe digital addition will not load onto a stock nook. I was hoping that could be fixed at some point. The Nook reader is well worth keeping.
most libraries, in the NY area at least, have some ebook lending capabilities available through their website. There's an app called OverDrive available on Android Market (and iphone/ipad App Store) that links in to many of these libraries and handles the DRM and serves as the reader. It's fairly well-featured and allows to search for your local library in the US by ZIP code. All can be done OTA in this case, without a need to hook up to USB to move over the Adobe Digital Edition files.
If you really prefer the Kindle app, many of the ebooks the library lends can also be sent to your Kindle account, which any Kindle or Kindle app can pick up.
Hope this helps.
If this is a concern I think you could always just flash back to a nandroid of the stock rom or wait for a cm7 bootable SD card and just pull it and put into stock when you need this.

You can do all this from your NT. Download Aldiko from the market. Download the acsm file from your public digital library. Use a file explorer - I use Root Explorer, Astro does not work for some reason - to select acsm then wait a few seconds as you receive epub.
Let me know how things work out or ask if you have any questions.

It is also a pretty simple matter to strip the DRM from an adobe pdf that you download from the library.
You can find a blog post with more information titled "Ebook Formats, DRM and You — A Guide for the Perplexed" (can't actually link to it yet...).
Using a program like Calibre, you can strip the DRM and load the pdf onto your nook, or convert it into a different format.
I personally haven't had a chance to try the Overdrive app for a pdf file, only epub, but for the most part it works well.

SD card version of CM7 is currently in the final testing stages. Look for it to be released by Celtic very soon.
I don't currently have any pdf files with DRM in them. I have never had one far as I know. I have always been able to read pdfs one way or another on any android device. As far as the B&N stock app being included with CM7, no, that app in particular will not work. However the B&N app in the market works for most things. DRM protected epubs purchased from B&N, purchasing, reading etc.
For me, the switch to CM7 has been almost all Pros and very few Cons. The NT boots quicker, touch screen seems much more responsive and I can tweak just about any setting I can imagine. The only Con has been an intermittent wifi issue but a simple reboot fixes that if/when it pops up.
Many thanks to Team B for there hard work on CM7!!!
Con of CM7 is stability. I was taking notes for about 10 minutes and it locked up and reboot.

Cons of cm7:
No B&N content.
intermittent wifi issues.
you need to remove and replace the sd card at times
you have too many choices to decide what to do with your tablet.
Cons of Stock.
B&N content
you have to deal with barnes and noble's restrictions on everything they could possibly restrict
you have too few choices about what to do with your tablet
you have too see the annoying nook logo on boot for halfway to forever. (what did they extend the time it takes you to boot just to get more airtime for the nook logo, in case someone, somewhere didn't know it was a nook by barnes and noble?
Pros of CM7
CM7 (Android and all the awesome that comes with a open ROM)
Android Market - Apps, Music, Books, etc
Pride in an unlocked device
Any ereader you want!
Pros of 1.4.x (Stock Nook ROM)
Full B&N support
Full B&N compatibility
Perfectly working Netflix
The biggest Pro for Stock, and so the biggest Con to CM7, is the lack of stability. Remember, CM7 is still alpha software. And I love it!

After posting, I realized that some of what I said in my OP may have been construed as nit-picking. I suppose what I should have said was, "I have been anxiously awaiting the CM7 ROM and am very excited about it's release. However, I have just begun trying to download some ebooks from my local library and have come across some issues with DRM, specifically Adobe PDF ebook format..." which would be much closer to my sentiments on the matter.
I did hear quite a few good things about the Aldiko reader when I was quickly trying to solve this problem the other day (before posting). I will try that (as well as the other suggestions) and report back my findings. Give me another week or two though, we just moved and are still working on getting settled in to the new place.
Thanks everyone for your input thus far.

Very interesting... I thought I would try ES Explorer to try and open an ascm file and apparently, it doesn't recognize file associations that are set up for the file. I get the option to open the file as text/image/video/audio but no way to open it with Aldiko.
I tried Astro but at the moment I'm using rooted 1.4.0 and Astro doesn't work well with that setup. (Does it work any better in CM7???) I used the search function, typed in part of the ascm file name, and clicked on the appropriate file in the results and it opened in Aldiko. A pain in the butt, but it worked.

I just found out the biggest disadvantage I could ever think of about a stock Nook. Something that made me delete my backup and forget 1.4.1 ever existed - a terrible oversight by B&N, IMHO.
It's useless outside the US.
I can't believe B&N. When I bought the Nook, the salesman who sold it to me knew perfectly well I lived in Mexico. He never mentioned I can't buy any books with an international credit card, or even if I had a US card, I wouldn't be able to download them outside the country.
Seriously - WTH? Had I known that, I'd have bought a Kindle immediately. I love the children's books on the Nook. I like the magazines, and B&N store. And I'm locked out of it.
As it is, I just deleted the Nook app and will stick with CM7 from now on. God bless the Kindle app.

Hi guys,
My device is Sony PRS-T2 ereader. It's rooted. It has nice stock browser and I want to stick with it. Though i has a drawback, can't download all the file types, even some ebooks inepub format. To add this functionality there's apk https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55206676/EBookDownloader.apk I use and everything works fine.
When I open a book, popup window appears offering me the choice to open with.. from the apps installed on my eReader, which is completely fine.
Among the apps there's EBookDownloader, I want to remove it from the list, but it should stay installed on the system for the functionality it adds to the web browser.
I think to be able to do this I need to adit EBookDownloader.apk and re-install modified apk, but I don't know what to change. Please, help. Many thanks in advance.
