I have had my NC for about a year and I bought the CM7 on a SD card shortly after I got the NC. It has worked great with the card in using CM7 or as a NC reader with the card out. Here's my problem. When I am using it as a Nook Color, I have full access to the internet but when I put the SD card and reboot in CM7 mode, the tablet no longer see the internet. I have done the periodic upgrades for the NC that Barnes and Noble puts out. Could one of these updates have caused this problem? Thanks for...
I got a NOOK color for Christmas. A couple of nights ago I started charge it I came back to my and I heard a pop noise and I look at my NOOK color charge a it was not working and I was going take it back out and put it back in to see if it work. When I did the front piece of the charge was broke I tried to fix it but it did not work. And I do not have a new one is there any way to charge my NOOK color. If know anyway please respond. Thank you
The charger i had worked but the other nook chargers i have dont work and the one i was useing is now broken. The only place i didnt try a new charger is barnes and noble i need help.
Just got the Nook Color. It was a Christmas present. It has a lot of nice features, but I was hoping for some things that are missing. My biggest misunderstanding before using it was that is was more of a tablet than a reader. My inclination after reading some other member's posts was that I would like it better if I rooted it and installed cyanogenmod, but I have some concerns about that. What I want is a more responsive interface and browsing experience, access to Android Market, but to keep...

I like the 7" form factor and there seem to be a lot of nice choices as far as manufacturer and style are concerned. I really like Samsung but was leaning towards an Iconia. Now there is a 7" Thrive. Should I pick a dedicated Tablet or should I save some money and pick up a Kindle Fire or Nook Color and ROM it.
So far I love my Kindle Fire beyond belief. In addition everyone I show loves it too and they go wild once they find out the $199 price tag on the unit. Many people who otherwise would have ignored tablets are running out to get one of these little multimedia bad boys. Amazon brought a well built and beautiful UI version of Android to the market. How do you think this will change the way people look at other tablets? Already when I look at similar sized tablets (Lenovo $250, B&N $250, etc..)...

I already have an iPad and IPhone after switching from a Droid 1, so I'm familiar with the Android environment. Can anyone say if this is worth it if you buy it just for it to be a more portable tablet, and something to play around with android on?
First off, I live in mexico city. There is no Barnes & Noble stores here. My beloved Nook fell today from a chair (maybe 50cms tall)... bad luck I suppose; the screen cracked. I have the part number, its an LG manufactured display; (the part number is LD070WS1)... I looked in eBay, there's ONE seller from Hong Kong, asking for $100 USDs for the screen. I've had horrible experiences with Hong Kong-based sellers. I also e-mailed B&N support. I have a few relatives that live in Miami, so, they...

I would like to know if any of you have tried honeycomb on your nook color. If you have, what' the performance like? is it stable enough to use as a day to day device? what are problems you've encountered with it?
To make a long story short, just bought my first dedicated eReading device: the second generation nook. I had a Borders gift card that I needed to use ASAP (they're going out of business in case you hadn't heard) so I bought a pair of novels in the Kobo store. As it so happens, Kobo's pretty cool about loading these books on other devices: the company basically gives you the ability to download them as protected ePubs and then load them on through Adobe DRM and Digital Edition software. I've...

Does anybody have firsthand experience using the Nook Color with a different charger and or cable than it came with? I generally use whatever charger and or cable I please, but the manual is vehement that I use only the one that it came with. Any insight would be great.
I want to read Google Reader, preferably in a visual layout like Pulse or Feedly present your syndicated items. Is this even possible or done in a natural way on any platform? I've read about the Kindle's beta web browser, and I know that the Nook can be rooted to run Honeycomb. Anybody care to share their experiences with RSS readers on an e-reader?
