I can't seem to get the integrated store in the Kindle app to go beyond the first level (i.e., Books, Newspapers, Magazines, etc.) Once I click on that I get an error and link to the webpage. I have linked free eBooks to the Amazon account on the webpage, and they seem to sync fine with the Kindle app via whispernet, I wonder why I can't do the same via the integrated bookstore though.
Same exact problem here..
Kindle Store
Ditto. Nootered Nook Color w/ 1.0.1 exibits same behavior. Anyone find a fix yet? Scott
It seems to be tied to the user agent issue (reporting as desktop) in the stock WebKit engine.
Any solution to this?
I have a brand new Nook... freshly rooted and this was the killer feature/app for me. It kind of kills my excitement that it doesn't work.
So, this was annoying me too. I read the info about the user agent issue. So I played a bit and here is a quick hack to get it mostly working. Note, that the "integrated" kindle store is really just a Webview that is displaying the mobile pages from amazon.
Outside of Kindle, open the default browser. Click on the icon in the top right hand corner looks like some lines with a triangle pointing downwards.
Then select Mode Options.
Select Settings
Then select the first item marked: Browser Mode/User Agent.
Click on Mobile Browser Mode.
Now, open the Kindle app and click on the kindle store.
Now, clicking on anything here will take you to that error page, but if you now click on the Home link now and if you have more then one browser installed, select the system browser and it will take you to the mobile Amazon page.
Select books then Kindle books and now you are at the Kindle store and the links work. As long as you are selecting the system default browser each time it seems to work for me.
Note: When it draws the page, the back button gets slid up and is not visible. Simply drag the page down and the back button will be visible, or use Softkeys.

Followed your directions and was able to access the mobile site. I don't see where I would select "Books" then "Kindle Books".
On my mobile view I have the following:

Sorry, for me after getting the error page, if I click on the link to go Amazon's home page, I have a link to books as the first item. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have logged into Amazon before on the device outside of the kindle app?

I have the same problem in the kindle app, solution I used was to just use dolphin browser on the amazon site and send them via whispernet from there.
The instructions provided here work to a tee. My device was on version 1.0.0, so I didn't have that mobile user agent option in the browser. I guess it became available in the 1.0.1 update. Anyway, I updated to 1.0.1 and 1.1.0. I have the mobile user agent in the browser and it works!!! Thank you so much for this. I could have just browsed the Amazon site on another browser in desktop mode, but this is an enjoyable experience just for Kindle content and you can buy or sample content!
I am running CM7 7.1.0 RC1 off sd card when I load the nook app and log in I see my newspapers Wall Street Journal and Barron's but when I try to download I keep getting error message indicating file format not supported.
Are yuo using the most recent version of the Nook app? I think at one point the app did not support newspapers and magazines.
I am running the latest download from the market version 2.6.2. Somewhere I thought I read something about a build prop file needing to be changed for certain devices in order to run certain apps like the new market app but I am not sure at all how that works or if it even applies.
I use the Nook for Android app pretty extensively and subscribe to several magazines. When I have trouble with the Nook app, and I haven't for some time, I do the following.
1. Go to applications
2. Click on the Nook app
3. Click on Clear Data.
4. Click on Uninstall
Reboot
5. Go to market.
6. Search for and install Nook App.
7. Sign in
8. Download content again.
I've done 10 NB installs since I had to do that, so I don't think it's a current issue if you get the latest version.
Market shows this as:
Updated: Juune 8, 2011
Current Version: 2.6.2
NB 143 is running smoothly enough for me to think it's good as RC2 for 7.1
Thanks for the information and suggestions. I have now updated to nightly 140 and things are running very good. However I still am having the same issue with the Nook app I have wiped data and uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled several times and it shows that I have purchased subscriptions to both the WSJ and Barron's but when I go to download it still gives me the file not supported error message. When I do a search using the app I see other newspapers available for purchase but not the Wall Street Journal or Barron's. However, when on go online through my laptop they show when doing a search for newspaper subscriptions. I have not tried to download any content through the nook app yet maybe that's the next step but I find it strange that these two publications do not show up in a search using the app. Any thoughts we be much appreciated.
Nook App goes straight to Library
Hope this is on point...
I have an issue where the nook ereader app goes straight to library. This is different than the nook app on my G2x and the videos that I've seen for others using CM7 show the same app as on the G2x. Any thoughts. I'm thinking that this might be due to the lack of an IMEI ?
I have seen several posts with people having issues trying to use the Amazon app store or install apps from the Amazon app store on their nook, so I decided to write up this brief guide.
1) You MUST have an SDCard installed BEFORE installing the Amazon app store. The reason for this is that the Amazon app store uses an SDCard to store certain information/cache/etc. While you can can get some things to install without an SDCard, you won't get all your apps to install without one. So if you want to install all your stuff from the Amazon app store, put an SDCard in your Nook FIRST.
2) From your Nook tablet, you can install the Amazon Appstore by typing in the following URL: www.amazon.com/amazonappstoreapp
3) You CAN use the same Amazon app store login on multiple devices. I currently have 2 HTC EVO3D phones and the Nook tablet all using the same login. The advantage of this is that if you (like me) have been grabbing free app of the day for a long time now, you will also have access to these on your Nook tablet.

hey is it possible for an app from the amazon app store to not be compatible with the NT? i think today's free app isn't compatible with the NT because it simply says so when I try to install it...
Probably. There are a lot of apps on the normal Android market that aren't compatible with the NT. The difference between them and the free app of the day is that they just don't show up normally. The free app shows up for everyone, since it's part of the "Advertising" section of the store.

I think I've done this correctly, but let me make sure...
I'm working with a rooted NT.
I uninstalled the amazon app using an uninstaller from the Android market.
I removed the SD card, which was not in there the first time I turned on the NT.
Turned off the NT
Deleted all contents on the SD card and reinserted it.
Turned on the NT
Installed the Amazon App
Signed in
Tried to install a few apps, but keep getting "Unable to install - This application was not able to install onto your device. Please "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to try again.
Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

This is what happens when you try to install a non-Nook app using the BN App Installer instead of the Android Package Installer. You need to navigate to the Manage Applications menu (get to it from NT Hidden Settings app, or the applications menu of ADW or Zeam, or any other possible way) and find App Installer. Click on it and then click the button that says "clear defaults." This should bring up a menu next time you install an app where you will choose to install with Package Installer, and set this as default. You should be good to go from there on (unless you try to install an app that is not designed for tablets/NT as indicated above).

Thank you for the assistance!
When I went there, no defaults were set. I went back to install an app and I still get the same error message, but originally I wasn't specific enough and left out this step:
I get a popup menu when I choose to install or reinstall an app and it asks me:
Complete action using - App Installer or Package installer.
If I choose app installer, I get the error mentioned. If I choose package installer, I get Parse error - There is a problem parsing the package.
remove sd card and put back in.
remove sd card and reboot and put back in.
it's something to do with the sd card.
Package Installer is what you should be using. From my experience, 'parsing error' has meant that the app is not compatible with the NT. So far these have included BeWeather, multiple games from Gameloft, and a drawing pad app from Amazon.

Do you have a free app you've installed via the Amazon App I can try out on my side?

I don't think so, I was getting that error trying to download es file manager. amazon appstore stared to work after I removed sd card, rebooted, put card back in, download some apps off android market. So not completely sure what I did to get it working.
Ya, just for the sake of testing try MultiTouch Tester. It's free and I just installed it to make sure.

Well then that is probably worth trying also. Now that I think about it there are some apps that I tried to sideload and got a parsing error, then when I tried to install with Root Explorer they did work (but not all have). So I guess this only makes the error more unclear...

Thanks for the app, but no change in the error.
I get the pop up to install as an app or a package, but both choices fail.

Worked for me. Worked with my old root, and now with Indirect's updated root script too.
Recently re-rooted after 1.4.1 update. Used Indirect's updated root script.
Is there some regional thing with the Amazon Appstore? I'm from England, on holiday in the US and I picked up a Tablet. I installed the amazon appstore fine and it worked and i tried to get it to download the free version of ES File Manager and everytime it starts it pops up with a payment issue and takes me to a webpage to sign in to add my payment details. I have a UK credit card attached to my account and figured that would be fine considering I'm not even paying for anything as its free but it wont let me. So can people outside the US without a US credit card use the mazon appstore? Also how do you get the Amazon App store icon to show up in the apps area? Once I leave the store the only way I can get it back is by re-installing it which is not ideal.

Thanks for this post. I've been searching for an answer to this problem since yesterday, and sure enough-- once I put an SD Card in my brand spanking new Galaxy Note 10.1 the issue was fixed.

I have a Nook HD and I am new to tablets, but I can not get the amazon store to install on mine for anything. Any ideas?

I rooted my nook tablet last week to get the Kindle app so I could continue my textbooks my new nook. But I am getting a "Unavailable for Download - The item is not compatible with the device", when trying to download books from the archive.
The root went fine I can access and download the amazon app from the market fine. Issues only occur when trying to add items from the archive.
I have a SD card inserted and see the structure of
Memory Card -> Android -> data -> com.amazon.kindle -> files -> b00tiqxaks_ebok.prc_temp which is saying this file is unsupported when I click on it.
Any tips?
I've had no troubles with it. I have seeral books from amazon and all seems to work fine.

Did it work first shot and you didnt have to modify anything?
I have uninstalled amazon kindle, rebooted, then resintalled.
Still with same issue.
Interestingly, I find sometimes the app will stop allowing bookmarks, highlights and syncing. Stopping and restarting the app does not seem to work. I have to turn the unit off and back on. Then all is fine again.
Weird problem.
I am having the same problem. It downloads the book and then says inturrupted, even though it appears that the whole file has been downloaded. Reinstalled the Kindle app with no changes.

Can't say I've had any issues with messages or failures (other than below), just the seemingly transparent effect of sync and bookmarks (and highlights) stop working. A power cycle clears it up, but would love to know what is causing it in the first place.
