Apparently this little guy is easily rooted too, which opens up the google play store and amazon app store, also adds things like gmail reader, basic web browsing etc..... nice option for anyone who fancies trying it.

Root your Nook

No audio.. but someone wanted to try it, you can activate quick refresh as well. Anything and everything really.

WRT to buying eBooks - AFAIK this thing supports the standard epub format so you can buy from Easons, Kobo etc you don't have to use the Nook store.

If you want to buy from Amazon, you'll need to root and install the Kindle app (or convert from Kindle format to epub on your PC).

Would that not wear out the e ink display super fast and cause it to fade or whatever? Or do they work the same as a normal LCD screen?

Amalgam · 02-05-2013 03:50PM

It would wear it out, but, as I said, someone wanted to try it..

iPhone. · 02-05-2013 04:27PM

Handy option to add a light for reading in the dark in bed etc.

Kandle

£12.95 Sterling from amazon but probably available cheaper.

Seaneh · 02-05-2013 04:30PM

Mine is in middleton as well.

It will just get sorted there and re-routed, it's happened to some stuff I've bought from them before.

Received an email today in response to an email that I had sent with regards to my order:

David Matkin (Blackwell's)

Dear Sarah,
Thank you for your email regarding your ticket ***** for your order******* - I apologise for the delay in responding but we are currently experiencing a high volume of calls and emails.
With reference to the above order, before we can sell Nooks to overseas customers we have to check that you have a UK Bank or Credit Card Account which is registered to a UK billing address. Part of the Registration process that all Nook owners have to complete directly with Nook soon after purchase includes advising them of your bank or credit card details so they can charge you directly for any eBooks you download . One of their stipulations is that you must have a Bank or credit card registered in the country of purchase ie : If you buy from a UK shop or website you must have a UK Bank or Credit Card Account which is registered to a UK billing address, similarly if you buy from the USA you must have a US Bank or Credit Card Account registered to a US billing address. .
If you do not have a UK account we cannot fulfil your order and I'm afraid that you will have to wait for Nooks to be sold locally in your country.
Please advise as soon as possible.
If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us on 01865-333536,
Regards,
Dave

Online Customer Services

Looks like those who order to an Irish address are out of luck

Did you pay with credit card or Paypal? I paid with Paypal and have the Parcel Motel address as both my delivery and billing address. Paypal are handling the money so billing address shouldn't matter to Blackwell.

Just checked my account there and status is still on "Being Processed" with ETD "02 May 2013". I'm assuming the delay is just due to the volume of orders they got.

iPhone. · 02-05-2013 04:56PM

Taken from HUKD today regarding Blackwells....

'Thank you for your email regarding your Nook order.

I can advise that this offer has been very popular and we are currently receiving hundreds of orders so processing has been slow.
We will be despatching the Nooks in the order in which customers placed their orders though I can advise that we have received more orders than we currently have stock but more stock is due in by the end of the week and a further batch next week so all orders will be fulfilled by the end of next week.

At this point I regret we cannot state for definite when your order will be fulfilled but should be supplied by the end of next week at the latest.

Kind Regards,

Olie

I paid with paypal aswell, but used my own Irish address for delivery instead of parcel motel. I asked blackwell to cancel my order, and ordered from littlewoods instead. Hopefully they will fufill it!

Allyall · 02-05-2013 05:35PM

I just orderd from Nook.uk

I haven't yet cancelled Blackwell, i'll see how it goes.

My littlewoods order seems to have finally got passed the processing stage

messinkiapina · 02-05-2013 06:56PM

I ordered mine from littlewoods early Tuesday, but I'm still being 'processed'. Lots of people who ordered later than that have had theirs dispatched. Not happy with them at all.

Allyall · 02-05-2013 07:15PM

I'd nearly jog up to Asda at this stage. Can you get them in normal Asda shops, or just Asda direct?
