Hi... computer idiot here. I just bought a nookcolor e-reader, and while it recognizes my home network, it won't let me connect. It did let me connect to the open wifi at McDonalds, so it isn't that the nook is faulty. (We use an Airport Extreme at home as our wireless router.) The person at B&N's technical department told me I "just need to call Apple and have them register the Mac address of my nookcolor in my Airport Extreme router setup because the Mac filtering system is preventing it from connecting." This is basically Greek to me (although I did find out the Mac address of the nookcolor, which has to count for something). Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks to online music services like eMusic and iTunes, compact discs are becoming a far distant memory, turning local music shops around the country into desolate wastelands. The once mighty movie rental store Blockbuster is now bankrupt because of online streaming services like Hulu and Netflix. And Borders and Barnes & Noble are closing stores left and right thanks to eBooks available on eReaders, like the Amazon Kindle. Everything is moving to the digital world, and everything is finding smaller, more compact ways of viewing it.

A tablet would merely be a luxury item for most of us. If you want to listen to music, you'll get one of the many, cheap MP3 players available. If you want to watch movies, try the iPod Touch. If you want to read digital books, then you'll more than likely settle for the Kindle or the NOOK. But what if there was a way to bypass the hefty price tag of tablet computers? What if you could turn your NOOK into an Android tablet, capable of playing movies and music.
B&N launched the Nook Color to combat the success of the Kindle, offering more interaction than conventional e-book readers. With its color touchscreen and integrated-web apps, you'd think it was an Android tablet.
Now that the basic root of the Nook Color is finished, there's a whole world of information to explore when it comes to customize your new Android tablet. Visit nookDevs to get more details on rooting your Nook Color, customizing it, and troubleshooting and problems that arise. You can also find instructions on rooting the Nook Color with Linux or Windows.
We found mixed results in our battery tests on the Nook Color. While the LCD screen gives it the ability to play back video, we found that it also made the battery life shorter when reading an eBook or listening to music. With the device set to the default settings for screen brightness, we were able to read an eBook for just over seven and a half hours. When playing a video, this battery life fell to five hours and 42 minutes.
Once you get the brightness setting right, the Nook Color is easy to use, with page turning quickly (and without the annoying dip-to-black effect of the Kindle) and the text looking sharp and clear. You can also customize the look: the display menu that appears when you touch the bottom of the screen offers 6 font and text size choices and 5 color scheme options. There are also 6 options for page layout, with different margins and line spacing. That provides a lot of options, which would be particularly useful for those with sight issues: the different font sizes and color schemes provide a good range of options for making the text more readable.
Although it is designed primarily as an eBook reader, the Nook Color can also double as a music and audio player. The music player application is on the extras menu, and it provides a basic, but adequate, set of controls. Music can be played, paused or skipped with a touch, and you can search through the music on the device by title or composer with the on-screen keyboard.
The Nook Color can double as a video player as well as an eBook reader, which adds a whole other level of use to the device. Videos look good on the 7-inch LCD screen, with bright whites and good color, but the controls on offer are somewhat basic. You play videos through the Gallery application, and this only offers basic features. When a video is playing, you can touch the screen to bring up the controls, which allow you to pause and play, rewind and fast forward and to scrub through the video by dragging the dot on the line to find the required point. This scrubbing is awkward, though: you get no preview until you stop and wait, so it is hard to find a specific time with any accuracy.
These two devices are very different: the Nook Color is a small, sleek device, while the iPad is a large, somewhat clumsy to hold device. But that extra size gives the iPad the advantage of having a bigger battery (and longer battery life), a bigger screen and offering more capacity for music and video.
The Kindle uses an eInk screen, which means that it can only display black and white. By contrast, the Nook Color uses an LCD screen that offers full color display. While that might sound like a one-sided battle, both types have their advantages. The eInk screen of the Kindle can be used in any light from near darkness to high noon in the desert: the text will still be visible on the screen. The LCD screen of the Nook Color is only usable in low to moderate light: anything higher drowns out the backlight of the screen and renders it unreadable.
The Sony Reader Daily uses an eInk screen, which means that it can only display black and white. By contrast, the Nook Color uses an LCD screen that offers full color display. While that might sound like a one-sided battle, both types have their advantages. The eInk screen of the Sony Reader can be used in any light from near darkness to high noon in the desert: the text will still be visible on the screen. The LCD screen of the Nook Color is only usable in low to moderate light: anything higher drowns out the backlight of the screen and renders it unreadable.
The Nook Color can handle both audio and video, and the latter look good on the bright, clear screen. However, there is no good way to organize audio or video: you cannot create playlists of music, and the only way to play a video is to scroll manually through a list of video and photo thumbnails until you find the right one. Compared to a device like the iPad or the Samsung Tab, the Nook Color looks primitive as a media player.
The browser is no worse than stock Android and gives the Nook Color some internet browsing muscle and tablet like abilities. However the current stock extras are as basic as you can get, with a gallery app where you can view images and play video files (which have been converted to m4v format), a music app, Pandora, Sudoku, Crossword and Chess.
While the Nook HD leaves off a camera and doesn't have the breadth of apps and media selections (movies, music) that Amazon and Google offer with their latest tablets, the Nook HD has the highest resolution screen for a 7-inch tablet, is lighter than the Amazon Fire HD, and has an expansion slot for additional memory.
An Android tablet for readers from Barnes & Noble with a 7-inch high-resolution VividView color touch screen and eight text sizes to customize reading. The Android platform lets it run apps ranging from games to travel, plus it allows email and Web browsing. The backlit display reduces glare and optimizes brightness for reading outside. It also includes built-in social networking features, including Nook Friends, to help you swap books.
So I took the plunge a few weeks ago, fired it up and was generally impressed with my first experience with a "dedicated" eReader. The NC feels and looks solidly built with a color screen that is beautiful, extremely readable and has a wide viewing angle. Wi-Fi connection was quick and easy and links up every time when I bring the NC out of sleep. The built-in speaker is ok for short newscasts or clips. But trying to listen to Christmas music on it with Pandora made me get up and fetch my Squeezebox Boom from another room after about five minutes.
First off I'd like to note that there are tons of really nice nook & nook color cases out there for cheaper than the material costs for this project. They're designed by professionals and made by companies who do lots of testing because they don't like being sued when customers return broken electronics. If you're looking for something to protect your android tablet, buy one of these. If you're interested in learning some new fabrication techniques, making something beautiful / unique, and enjoy having fun in the shop please read on :)
I've had serious gadget envy for the nook color ever since it was announced and as tinkerers, hackers, and developers work on it it just keeps getting better & better. Check out the nook devs wiki here: _Page
The inspiration for this case comes from the iPad case made by DODO ( www.dodocase.com/products/dodocase-for-ipad ) which is absolutely stunning. When I looked at the standard Moleskine sizes though, it was apparent that I wouldn't be able to use the same bamboo wood type frame and decided to use aluminum instead because I needed something very thing, strong, easy to shape, and I had it laying around my shop.
The nook is just barely smaller than the 5x8.25" sketchbook so I had to tear out the entire blank page 'folio' along with the pages glued to the front and rear covers. You can still use this bound bunch of pages as a notebook, so it's not really that wasteful. Take care not to tear the 'leather' when you're picking off the paper - it tears pretty easily.
With the cover removed you can stick the nook color inside to see how it fits. I took measurements off the sketchbook pages to make my template and printed out multiple different versions to check the fit before I cut any aluminum. The file is available as a PDF download below. The pattern is larger than an 11x17" sheet, but the parts that are cut off are easy to extrapolate.
