dont you think this is too blinky?

Thanks for the review. I had the Nook Color rooted for awhile, and that was fun. But now that I've got the Simple Touch for cheap thanks to Black Friday sales, I think I'll just keep it at stock. Rooted just gives some crappy pdf apps, an overly flashy web browser, and not much else. The Gmail app looked cool, but that's about it.

i need a reader to read pdf files, can anyone advise me a good one pls?

[fuchsiaalone]

I'm getting a nook tomorrow and I'll root it. I don't really care about Gmail, widgets and all that stuff, I just want to have access to a web browser to read Safari Books (I'm a web developer) and to access Instapaper.

I think this is a good idea only because of EVERNOTE or whatever note-taking app. I love my nook simple touch except that it does not have a dedicated note-taking or to-do-list application. Its my only complaint with the original software. Hopefully they update that soon

@avida913 while it is definitely not designed to be a full-blown tablet of any sort, it is nice having the ability to load books from different sources (i.e. google, amazon, other apps) on the device, instead of being locked in with Barnes & Noble.

what happens when the nook automatically updates software? do you just lose the root or will it cause a boot cycle or something?

[dantheflipman]

@avida913 Rooting a device with an E-ink screen is not something that people really do as much for the added functionality, it is more the thrill of being a "Power User" and knowing you have complete control over the device you own. E-Ink is a very new type of screen on tablets, and so it's pretty exciting to see what it's limits are when running standard software on it, if he wanted to fix the small problems, he'd just revert back to the standard firmware.

Why would you want to root the Nook Simple Touch? It was made SIMPLE for a reason, not for Android market and stuff like that. And you wonder why your Nook starts to have problems like going to the store and the side buttons not working, it's because you rooted it & it's not meant for things like that! If you wanted to be able to read and have all kinds of apps, then you just wasted your money buying the Nook Simple Touch. You should have just bought something like a Nook Color or a Kindle Fire.

Hey, I've changed my wallpaper and can't get seem to get it back to the original nook (android) background. I'm using Go Launcher. Any way I could switch that back? Thanks!!
