Actually tshoulihane posted their patched cacerts at the bottom of this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=65344931

Under Mirror Copies there's a "basic" version and "more complete" version that might fix additional services, though I'm not sure exactly which.
[Nook Touch General] borgs_uk:
Thanks. I tried the most complete version and that didn't fix it either - I think that version pre-dates this problem. It may be that either I have done something wrong in updating my cacerts file previously or that the certificate is not the issue or that there is some other problem with their certificate. I don't really know enough about this I've just cobbled together information from this thread to attempt to fix it.

Is anyone else using Read It Later who can no longer sync?
[Nook Touch General] tshoulihane:
I have a vague memory of starting to look at that app before - but not making much progress in tracking down what the problem is...

However, now, getpocket.com seems to load in the browser for me, with no issues. cacerts the same as the full one I uploaded a while back.
[Nook Touch General] tshoulihane:
I just installed both the 101 version, and the dodgy 103_pro version of the app on my nook - the 101 version works, the 103 version spins forever attempting to load. If you have any different (non pro) version, I can test that on my nook...
[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
I just applied the updated cacerts to my nook and Read It Later 101 appears to be working! I haven't tried 103_pro but I was having the 'spins forever' problem even before I applied the updated file, so I fine with the solution I have working now!
[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
That said...

It looks like Read It Later 103_pro was the one that had the volume rocker scrolling feature... 101 doesn't have it and the touch sensitivity on the Nook itself is wonky to scroll through a long article. Any ideas on that?
[Nook Touch General] borgs_uk:
Many thanks to tshoulihane, cjpicci and jasonmehmel. I had 1.03 pro installed - that version continues not to sync. Have just installed 1.01 and it syncs again! It is a pity about the lack of volume button support for scrolling. I find scrolling down to be fine by just doing a small drag upwards - it then scrolls half a page. Scrolling up I find a bit inconsistent but shouldn't need to do that too often.

I can read on my Nook again so very happy. Thank you! :)
[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
It is quite a drag. I find that I have to be pretty insistent with my drag upwards... a light flick seems to read like a drag downwards! I've found myself hovering around one section of an article going back and forth, until I make a long, slow, ponderous drag upwards... which the Nook then accepts.

SIGH.

I was using IFTTT to sync my Read it Later with Instapaper, and then using InstaFetch Lite to read it on the Nook. I actually found the UI for that better than Read It Later! And the Lite version downloads 10 articles at a time... but for some reason the syncing is glitchy, and wasn't solved by the cacerts file. At least not yet...
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Scrolling--which B&N never envisioned the NST needing--is poorly implemented in many apps that will otherwise run fine on the NST/G. The best are those like Opera Mobile that scroll flawlessly (a definite minority) followed by those which manage a page-at-a-time "scroll" (like NewsRepublic and the old, dead CNN app). I don't know if it would work for R-I-L, but on the BBC News app and also News Hog, the best effect seems to be a quick thumb-flick upwards across the lower right corner (like a 45 degree angle). This takes some getting used to--and that's only for scrolling up. Down is "automatic", whether you want it or not!

It may be that there are other versions of R-I-L that will still run on the NST/G and still sync but have not yet been discovered. The recent surprising discovery of a Google Books version that finally works gives one some cause for hope. But I doubt the scrolling issue will be any better.
[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
I've been trying the 'thumb flick upwards in the lower right corner' for the last day and thought it's not nearly as reliable as a physical button, I can still make it through a long-form article without going crazy. Thanks for the tip!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Glad that helps a little. It also really helps to keep the screen "gutters" very clean.
[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
Actually, you may have lost me there. Do you mean the screen itself clean (because I'm always wiping it) or do you mean I should avoid adding programs that use the side gutter, like Button Saviour?
[Nook Touch General] phil200:
Where do you get Read It Later v1.1 read it later from please ? I can find v1.3 and a v1.6 but not v1.1
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
The NST touch screen is not operated by capacitance but rather is IR. There's a network of little wires just under the screen edges or "gutters". Debris accumulates in the edges and decreases sensitivity. You can gently sweep out the gutters with a soft brush, but the easiest is probably a shot of canned compressed air--or a stiff dry " whoosh" every now and then.

[Nook Touch General] Eserim:
OK - can anyone please point me to a download of the 101 version? EDIT : by the "101" version are people talking about the Kindle App or Read It Later app??

I any case using the certificates files and the method listed here failed for me and the Kindle App.

Many thanks
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Here is the link to 1.0.1

But if you have not resolved the prior issue it may not be useful. Not sure if logging into Pocket requires updated cacerts.
[Nook Touch General] Eserim:
Thanks, but I guess it is the problem with Kindle app i need sorting.

Anyone any idea?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Another certificate?

I admit to be flummoxed by this process, although I did try it several times. I hate to ask because I'm not sure this will actually solve a problem. Overdrive, which is a service libraries in the US use to distribute e- and audiobooks, has recently stopped working on the NST. I don't think it's the old app itself but rather a login issue when using Opera Mobile. That's where the error shows up and I'm guessing it's a change in certificates since they updated their login procedure. Maybe it's not even on the NST list any longer.

Anyhow, a typical login page is something like this. I doubt you actually have to try to log in because the page is already marked as secure. On the other hand, you don't get any errors until you actually try to log in. Looks like DigiCert but that's about as far as I can get :(
[Nook Touch General] tshoulihane:
I suspect you're right about the problem in this case being something other than the certificate. The linked page has a root cert valid from November 2006 - don't know how my nook will react to it, but chances are it ought to work even with the old certificates. Will try and have a dig about later...
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Maybe. Since then I've conducted a series of experiments. The Opera Mobile and Opera Mini from the NST install and appear to run on a KitKat phone. Opera Mobile crashes and closes abruptly when the Overdrive "sign-in" button is touched. Opera Mini goes to the same error message as on the NST. On that same phone both the native Android browser and Dolphin negotiate sign-in without a hitch.

I tracked down a Dolphin 10.x app which is the last of the series that sort of runs on the NST. Lo and behold, it spit out all kinds of security certificate messages before I even had a chance to touch the "sign-in" button. Something about the name of the site not matching the name on the certificate? Anyway, it was terribly unhappy and when I told Dolphin to ignore security certificate issues, it displayed a blank page instead of the typical "enter your library card number" etc.

Curiouser and curiouser.
[Nook Touch General] cjpicci:
UC Browser Mini version 10.6.8 lets me sign in. I'll try to post the apk later in case it's not available anywhere.
[Nook Touch General] tshoulihane:
Somehow I've lost ADB access (to both nooks), but if you use logcat, you will probably see certificate failures in there. (along with lots of other less interesting stuff)
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
That's fairly easy to locate, thanks to the wonders of Google. And yes, it works just fine, amazingly enough. Piddly little browser, though, and not something I'd like to depend on for other uses. The worst is no zoom. I've set is as the default for access from the Overdrive app. Not sure if that will gum up the works for other things, but offhand I can't think of another app that invokes the browser. Thanks for identifying this browser. The downloaded acsm file shows up in the notification bar and touching on that opens up Overdrive and commences the download.

I tried this several times without luck and when I saw all the certificate errors with Dolphin I was sure something was missing. But who would create a browser (UC Mini) that absolutely ignored all security certificate issues? Seems unlikely. So I tried one more time with logcat (using Opera Mobile) and this time I caught something which may hint at an explanation:

W/webcore ( 5671): hasMessages() is not supported in this case.
W/webcore ( 5671): hasMessages() is not supported in this case.
D/WebCore ( 5671): RenderSkinButton::Init: button assets failed to decode
D/WebCore ( 5671):	Browser buttons will not draw

So perhaps it's a rendering issue--inevitable as HTML advances--though why the UC Mini should succeed where others failed is your guess. In any case, there were no security issues in the logcat for the entire session.

I've yet to hear back from Overdrive tech support. They were super fast on the first go-round, but I suspect the added detail in my reply set the guy's head spinning. Seriously, Android 2.1?!

cannot set any email

Hi, thanks for the simplified version of the tutorial, I was able to overwrite the cacerts file with Root Explorer (app) only. Recently I started using my note 3 with kindle app, but with the new version of this app from the PlayStore I was able to set up an email to which I can receive some of my subscribed magazines etc. So every week I can sync fresh mags with my phone. However with the kindle app on my nook there is no option to set any email for receiving books (3.2.0.35) and I cannot ad any email to this device by managing devices on my amazon profile page. I also made my nook default device but still no luck. I don't buy any content from amazon store anymore so the kindle app on my nook is pretty useless for me at the moment. Can anybody give me any suggestion please? Thanks

Edit, it turns out that this has nothing to do with devices email, but my nook is just still not syncing. I am in the UK
[Nook Touch General] mac323:
I am having issues with the kindle app on my rooted nook simple touch., and I was pointed to this thread. Initial problem was that when I ran the app and entered my email/password I got a message that there was no internet connection, even though there was.

I updated the cacerts.bks file based on info in this thread, and now I no longer get that connection error, but now I am getting an "invalid email or password" error. I have quintuple-checked that i am entering the right credentials. Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

And -- I have my answer! When I checked my email just now, I had several emails from Amazon, where they sent me a one-time password to use to register the device. After I entered the latest one they sent me, it connected fine!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Makes sense, I guess. Back in the day when the Amazon App Store was working that's how many of us registered our devices with Amazon. Now you have to go through this step instead. Good to know there is still a way. Thanks for reporting back to this thread.
[Nook Touch General] tajlund:
Thanks to everyone on this who fixed it. I just started being unable to sync my books and was going crazy. Discovered this guide and it saved the day. Thank you so much.
[Nook Touch General] m.artiz:
I've rooted a couple of days back, now "installed" the certificates as advised above but cannot get past the Amazon App Store login. It claims "Please enter a valid email and password" even though I did and I haven't received any code via email.

I rooted mainly to use Pocket (Read It Later) on my Nook but the app needs me to log in in Amazon.

Any ideas?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
? No one has ever mentioned logging into the Amazon App Store with Pocket before. The App store is dead on the NST. Kaput. The API has completely changed and no version will work. But Pocket is something else---unless you originally installed it from the Amazon App Store. Then I could see how you might be in trouble. So if that's the case, you need to uninstall the Amazon App Store and your Pocket (if it's from them) and then side-load a generic Pocket so you're not tied to the dead App Store app.

Which version of Pocket are you using? There have been some posts about only a certain version being able to log in--although that might have changed.

Edit: see here
[Nook Touch General] m.artiz:
Great, that solved it! I had version 1.6 to which I was directed from a certain blog post.

Now using 1.0.1 found here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47073380&postcount=11

[Nook Touch General] valeri.nikolov:
Still works

Thanks to all that contributed.

If one is looking for installing/fixing Kindle app on Nook Simple then this thread All works. I had one small trouble at the end with logging to the Kindle app with the kind of "user or password incorrect" error and it turned out that amazon used dual step logging sending a code over e-mail but the kindle app never let me enter the code. After I changed the password using another device then shortly it let me login with the password. Just my two cents.
[Nook Touch General] Andy2No:
Good to know. Thanks, Valeri. I've wondered if that would be a problem since I had to do it on my "new" (to me) 1st generation iPad. Sooner or later, that won't be possible either, because software updates for it are drying up. A lot of things can't be installed on it any more.

Kind of off topic, but another solution - I recently installed Calibre, on my PC, and the add-ons to remove DRM from my Kindle books. I can provide more information, if anyone wants it.

It's not illegal to remove the DRM, it's what you do with them afterwards that might be. If all you do with them is convert them to ePUB or mobi files, and read them with CoolReader, or similar, that's definitely not breaking any laws, at least not in the US or the UK.

You need the serial number from the Kindle they're taken from, or you can import them from the Kindle for PC software - so basically, you can only do it to books you own.

On the whole, I prefer using CoolReader, though I haven't ever sorted out a dictionary look up for it.

What prompted me to try Calibre, was being told I couldn't download books onto my Nexus 7, because I'd exceeded the maximum number of devices they were registered to. It turned out that maximum number is six devices, which Amazon claim is set by the publishers. Not a lot, for many of the users of this site, I imagine.

It turned out they'd counted my Nexus 7 twice already, under different device names, and putting the books back would count as a third device, plus my PC was counted twice - once for the Kindle PC software, and once for the Cloud Reader browser plugin. My Nook, an older Android device and two iPads (1st and 3rd generation) took it over the limit.

I de-registered the extra incarnations of my Nexus 7, so that did solve the problem for me, but it pissed me off enough to look for ways to avoid using the Kindle software all together - other than the firmware on my actual Kindle (an old Kindle Keyboard one, that still works).

[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
How are you trying to log in to Google?

[Nook Touch General] fennectech:
Logging into google works But market throws server error and when browsing to google.com i get ssl cert errors
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
As of June 30, 2017, the Market cannot be accessed by devices running older than Android 2.2. So that explains that part.

I just went to google.com using Opera Mobile and had no trouble. I also routinely browse news.google.com logged in without any difficulty. Maybe it's your browser?

[Nook Touch General] AndyChecker:
Thanks so much all as I have just got our old Nook Simple Light working with the Kindle App now using the cacerts.bks files in this thread and ES File Explorer.

Can I also just ask how I map the hardware side buttons on the Nook (either the two on the left or right) to turn the page on the Kindle app using ReLaunch rather than having to swipe the screen?
[Nook Touch General] tshoulihane:
Interesting... My Kindle App failed to sign in last time I was out of the country. I assumed it was dead, but I'm going to have to try again now...

If you used Nook Manager to root your device then what you are looking for is Nook Touch Mod Manager. That will allow you to assign the various hardware buttons.

Also having issues now, Nook won't receive books when I send them via a PC browser and does not have my latest books when I view the Kindle app on the device. Is it finally dead?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Not entirely. I just went to my local library website on my PC and checked out a Kindle e-book from Overdrive. The checkout sent me to Amazon to "get the book" and it was delivered to my NST when I connected to WiFi and started up the Kindle app.

So...what do you mean by sending via a PC browser? Have you made the update to the cacerts file as described earlier in this thread?
[Nook Touch General] thejaredhuang:
I have the cacerts installed. I just retried the app and everything works guess I just needed to wait a little bit.

You can go to the amazon website to browse your content and have it pushed to your devices, thats what I usually use since its faster than browsing on a mobile screen.
[Nook Touch General] LaDjA:
I installed the cacert file, using EX file explorer. Before that, the Amazon app store wouldn't work at all (I would go in the app, and it wouldn't load any apps), now it does work (apps are shown), but I'm still unable to log in to my account, which means, I'm unable to download any apps.

Any advice?
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
The Amazon app store apk has been dead for a very long time. Change in API. No fix. Uninstall it.
[Nook Touch General] LaDjA:
Thanks for telling me.

So, how do I get apps on my nook?

I actually only really need something that would sync the blogs I read and random web pages to my device (I thought of something that would work with Instapaper, but I'm open to suggestions).

Of course, if I could also install more things that would give my nook more capabilities (email? google docs/sheets? calendar?) - that would be great. But I can do without all of these.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
See https://xdaforums.com/nook-touch/general/gapps-install-tested-confirmed-t3782459

The simplest way to get apps is to side-load them. There are some bundles of working apps on this forum (including the ones linked in my signature). Apps that can sync may be rare at this point.
[Nook Touch General] LaDjA:
Thank you for this. Very helpful.

Do you know if there are any apps that do sync (whether with instapaper or pocket or anything like that)?

Is there any way to push files easily to the nook?

Tal
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Search the forum for "pocket". There was some discussion of it in the past.

For files smaller than 5 MB, the free version of WiFi File Transfer works via your PC browser to transfer files to and from the NST. It is also possible to use the FTP feature of ES File explorer. I did a post on that some time ago but just remember it was a pain to set up.
[Nook Touch General] LaDjA:
Alright. Thank you.
[Nook Touch General] geneth:
Dug my NST out of storage today, curious to see how complicated it would be to load Kindle onto it. 7 hours and lots of Googling later, I can confirm that these instructions still work a treat, even in the US! (And they aren't as intimidating as they look, if you just go step-by-step.)

After getting the "invalid password" error, I reset my Amazon password through the website and was able to load up my Kindle Unlimited books with no issue.
