rooting the new Nook Glowlight +
has anyone any experience with rooting a Nook Glowlight + ? i'm thinking of getting one to root with the intention of installing other reading apps for sideloaded epubs and also using the android kindle app and google's own playbooks app.
does a rooted device allow you to install and run these apps? |

Check this forum out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nook...-plus-t3230323
You will find a tool for rooting the Glowlight Plus (post #153) and other info. I tried to install Play Store but never got it to function properly. So, I don't know if the Play Books app will work. However, you can sideload the Kindle app and many other apps without rooting. (Check out the forum.) Hope this helps! |

thanks. i saw the thread on xda. not getting google play store to work (and by extension, google play books) is a no-go. the only reason i'm thinking of doing this is so i can consolidate all reading apps onto a single e-ink device. i have a few lcd/led tablets that already has all the apps, but prefer it to be e-ink for reading. i supported the earl device, but i've given up hope for it to ever emerge.
