GL4: is it cooked?

[blaberd1]

Just brought a new glowlight 4 off of ebay and I was informed appx 5 months ago that nook could be rooted to android.

Fast forward and I bought it and I can see that the update.zip files don't work, the dev passwords are invalid, and that BN has locked up dev access to the public.

I am no means an android dev, or tech saavy.

do I just pack it up and return it? I don't wanna buy into the BN ecosystem, I want an android device.

And if I should pack it up, what device do you recommend that has android that's actually accessible?

thank you!
