eBook Readers: Android on the Nook, Resources for eBook Devices, & Rooting the Nook Touch [1 of 2]
A handy video for eBook Readers: how Android works on the Barnes & Noble Nook Touch, what applications to use, resources for any eBook device, and how to root the Nook Touch. If you are looking for more in an eReader, I highly suggest that you consider the Nook Touch because of the ability to download periodicals and articles from the web to read offline at a later date via the Read It Later application. This will require rooting the device, but it’s a quick process to unlock the true potential of what every eReader should be supporting right now. The following are the links from the video for your convenience. If you happen to own any eReader (like the Barnes & Noble Nook Touch Reader, Nook Color, Amazon Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Sony Reader, iPad, iPod, laptop, or any smartphone) this will be a great resource for finding deals on books and obtaining thousands of free titles that are available for download.

@TinkAndGracie Not a problem, glad it was useful! Here’s an updated video that shows off more features: watch?v=SekBv7n_H1A
I just bought myself the Nook ($99) and love it. Will like it even more when I can browse for more reading material on the Web and download library e-books. Thanks for your research and postings.
Nice tutorial ,but wanted to point out that Oprah is a t.v. personality. Opera is a browser .
amazing video… i had no idea the nook can do this MAGIKZZ
@LukeTheBook333 Just adjust that URL. You need to modify the original file used in the root command line program, then just rerun the command line and say yes to remap.
@werddie1992 I plan to release a more updated guide with some more tweaks and apps, but in the mean time, check out this forum thread for more information, it should give you all the information you need to remap the buttons. I started the remap first with the menu and back buttons on the left hand side, but eventually switched them for volume control to change pages in the android apps because the menu buttons are already in the taskbar. tinyurl /3tdcu5r
Can I ask how you remapped the buttons for alkido?
All the buttons don’t seem to work for me.
