Overdrive no longer works on 2012 Nook Model #BNTV250A

abbynormal52 · 12-07-2016, 01:55 PM

I have a Nook that I bought in 2012?? I bought it new, it still works great with purchasing books, and reading them, but my Overdrive no longer works. I've now been using Adobe Digital Editions which is a big pain to get a book from the library.

All My Nook says about itself in the "Device Info" is what you see below. It's not called a "tablet", "color" or any on name. Just the Version and Model #:

BNTV250A (Model)
1.4.3 (Version)

Can one like my Nook be changed or configured to run Overdrive, and possibly the Google Playstore? I am getting a Nook Tablet 7, but want to give that to my sister for Christmas. I have to get it set up for her as she's not tech. inclined. But if I like it, I was going to order one for myself, only because I can't get my Overdrive with my library2go capabilities.

Any help appreciated, as I don't know exactly what "rooting" is. Someone had asked about their, "old Nook", and I thought maybe this was the place to ask about my situation

Thank you much, Denise

The BNTV250A is the 8GB version of the Nook Tablet.

Thanks AnemicOak, but I got my Overdrive to work fine lastnight. I think my issue was more my wifi signal slowing down. Not sure, but I don't need to do anymore research for now. I appreciate your link though, and will take a look as I would like to know if there is maybe a way to make sure my Nook is going as fast as possible

My friend Reta has had Persians for years, she rescues them and gives them a wonderful home with her and her family. She has 3 now. That Blue Smoke looks a lot like Sebastian, and he's passed now

But she went right down and rescued another about a month later

Happy reading!!
