[Nook Touch General] mobydeek:
I dont think anyone knows why exactly the battery drains so fast when Unregistered. One reasonable idea is that the Wifi never stops searching for connections (necessary in registering).

I also dont think there are enough hackers bothered by this for it to ever be solved unofficially.

- I have never received any spam from B&N.

- There IS a "What to read next" section on the Homescreen, but I probably see that 0.01% of the time.

I see your point, SsummerSsarah, but the positives (good battery) far outweigh the negatives in my eyes.

At worse, could you simply create a fake email address, unconnected to your other emails, and register with that?

I too sideload my books. I dont want to be stuck with purchasing from B&N all the time.

Another point: whilst unregistered, I noticed that my Nook couldn't remember what page I had read last. On clicking the book icon (top left) it would jump me to the front cover of the book. AFTER registering, the bookmarking has worked fine. (I can't guarantee that Registering solved this problem)

Going back to my previous post:

14th Dec: 96%

31st Dec: 70%

Thats a 1.5% loss in battery per day (avg 1-1.5 hours reading per day), compared to 15-20% loss when unregistered.

I just can say this: ROTFL! :D

It seem to me you miss the point:

the Nook is a B&N product.

If you want to buy, you need to agree their condition.

Stop.

You can buy a Mercedes. And decide it to fill tank by water, assuming that you can do with it what you want. It will not work,'cause Mercedes decided that their car is goin' by fuel. ;)

I dunno if battery drain is because of no-registration. But, also if it is because of it, you have a simple solution: do not buy it!

;)

BTW, as i can read here, no one receive spam or other from BN after registration, so it seem to me a no-problem. My nook, registrated from italy, have no battery drain. I can upload all my books as i wish and that is why i bought it.
[Nook Touch General] Tired_:
The OP's friend's father seems to be the only international user to have had their device locked by B&N, at least among the people who have posted here. I just bought a NST a couple days ago...I'm in the US now, and will be for a few more days, and I definitely don't want my device locked when I go back to Canada. What's the consensus? Is the OP's friend's father full of it, or does this actually happen?
[Nook Touch General] AcoQ:
Is there something in the EULA that prohibits the purchase/registration of the nook outside the US?

I've bought mine in September last year (feels weird to say, 2012 being so young and all) and didn't even consider this, simply did the registration with my German data + credit card and everything has been smooth sailing since then. I also get the freebies (LOVED the dracula release), the what-to-read-next-section and purchases work flawlessly.

The only thing I screwed up was my first name, according to B&N my name is Christianj (damn you, touchscreen keyboard!) and while I was able to change that in the account settings, quote sharing still says "Christianj shared a quote". Needless to say, I don't share quotes anymore...
[Nook Touch General] spino1970:
I suppose yes, because they're not shipping outside US, or for sure not in italy :)

I agree!
[Nook Touch General] siddhu666:
Registered successfully outside US

I am from India, and had been using NST after skipping OOBE. But then I decided to register it, since battery drain was quite high.

I was also afraid that the device might brick (stop working) if I register, since I was outside US. However, no such thing happened.

The registration was quite simple and there were no issues faced. I skipped the credit card part, since I don't plan to buy books from the B&N site. So, can't tell you people about the buying part.

For free books, you can get all these books from Gutenberg or other sites. Or, you can put in a fake credit card number, and download them from the B&N site.

Battery is quite better too.

Cheers!

Wi Fi unusable?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but it seems better to do that than have people post the same informnation all over again.

Basically, I'm trying to buy an ereader for my Dad, to be used in the UK. He's 76 and a bit of a technophobe, which is a bit of a surprise, particularly as he's very intelligent and has been one of the top scientists in his field through his working life - go figure, as they say.

The upshot of that is that he won't be into workarounds on an ongoing basis - if the OoBE thing still works then we could set it up for him but "sideloading" sounds like something he probably won't do and the device will simply become shelfware.

From what's been written in the thread prior to this, it seems that the U.S. Nook (ST w/ Glowlight) can only be used without WiFi outside the US? Any attempt to use it seems to result in... either a rejection of credit card details or a lock-out in the worst case.

The reason this is attractive is because the public e-lending libraries in the UK use the ePub format and Kindle doesn't support that, Sony readers get poor reviews so that means getting a Nook. Second choice is to get a Kindle and do without public lending libraries. I could probably convert books for him, but it would probably never happen.

So... is it possible to get a US Nook and get it working fully here in the UK so that he can buy books from B&N and other sources, get the free books and use the Wi Fi to do it? Or is there something that is not possible? And... what are the risks? Has anything changed since the last post in this thread some months ago?

One possible change is that the UK version of the Nook (Simple Touch with Glowlight) was supposedly released (24th March I believe?) and then... it fell off the radar. No results on Google, nobody selling it, no info on re-stocking, nothing. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Touch General] buestad:
I got my Nook simple touch (glowlight) from the US this summer via relatives from the US on holliday in Norway. I signed up at B&N using only the required info and skipping the credit card part. I've bought a few norwegian e-pub books (with adobe DRM) which I have put on the Nook using Adobe Digital Editions Preview (1.8.3). I also authorized the Nook using ADE to get the DRM working. I have also downloaded a sample book from the buildt in B&N shop. Yesterday i finished the sample, and wanted to buy the rest of the book, but the Nook shop wouldn't let me, so I have to figure a way around the non-us credit card and non-us IP address limitations in the buying process :)

Aside from this I have also rooted the Nook for other reasons, and the Wifi is on almost all the time. It has only been charged one time scince I got it in the beginning of july and I have read almost 3 books and tinkered a lot with it using email and other apps.
[Nook Touch General] sameee781:
Hi Siddhu,

I'm from Bangladesh. I've rooted my Nook ST and using by skipping OOBE where I'm facing considerable battery drain. I've tied to register but if gave error. Could you please let me know trick how did you register your nook from India?
[Nook Touch General] siddhu666:
Try unrooting it first

Sameee,

I am not very sure about your case, because I hadn't rooted my Nook. You could restore your nook to stock, if you aren't doing anything extra with the rooted one (http://nookdevs.com/Nook_Simple_Touch_restore_to_stock), and then go through the normal OOBE and register it.

Let me know how it goes.
[Nook Touch General] sameee781:

Hi siddhu666,

I've tried several times with normal OOBE using different wifi hotshot. Same result... Do you have any more observation?
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
Sadly, no, I do not, other than to wonder what the meaning of the 'Status' line is. Instead of 'Reset', you have of course tried 'Power Off' with no effect.

I have no idea why the device cannot be registered.

MildBill
[Nook Touch General] sameee781:
Yes, I tried with both the option (reset and power off) which didn't have any effect.

Since you have the same phone i'm wondering what you did different? thx!

I didn't do anything different. My laptop and iPad just connected like any other WiFi hot spot. I have seemed to notice the last day or so some strangeness in my WiFi. I find I have to turn off my WiFi or data to get to the marketplace. I never had to do that before I ran the interop unlock file.

HTML5 is the way to go as far as web is concerned (for desktop as well as mobile platforms). So, they're doing the right thing. It's a shame Adobe is stopping support for it though. I wonder how this might affect video streaming on youtube etc which require flash in future?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Funny how your title and OP are completely different things. Your title suggests they are dropping Flash entirely and will no longer be available or updated... where your OP says they are simply stopping development.

The latter is right. They are just simply stopping development on it. It is at a place where it is fine. They will still maintain bug fixes with Android but they just won't be developing anymore for it.

Not really a big deal. We have flash support and we always will. This doesn't mean that tomorrow, we won't be able to use flash content. I don't know if its a good thing but HTML5 is a much better choice moving forward.

The band is of coarse Filter and it has to do with a guy a envelope and a suicide...

Here is what the band said its all about...

The song 'Hey Man, Nice Shot' is a reaction to a well-documented public suicide, where the guy CLEARLY planted the gun in a manila envelope. Totally planned it. It is not a celebration or glorification of taking one's own life. The phrase 'hey man, nice shot' is a reference to the final act itself; which, was a damn good shot and an expression of guts and determination of a person standing up for what they believe is right, i.e. self-murder, public-style. We are extremely sensitive and respectful to the family and friends of Mr. Dwyer. We have both lost friends to suicide and felt nothing but sympathy and loss for the victims, and those involved in such a tragedy.
