Barnes & Noble eReader from OMarket

[Improve]

Here is the Barnes and Nobel app/cab ripped from the HD2. Runs excelent on TP2, it runs verticly and in landscape mode.

I have attempted to install older Barnes & Noble app cabs that came with older builds(roms) to no avail. They would not istall properly or work in the past, but this one does. Here are some pics for a better idea of what the app looks like.

If your running the Ereader tab/sence 2.5 rom on your device, the app runs and is compatible with Ereader tab library view. Additionaly if you dont have the Ereader tab, or prefer not to run it you can use the app as a stand alone app(very convinient for B&N ebook readers).

Here is a link for more information regarding the upcoming cab for Windows Mobile app store, but I checked this morning and it was not available yet so if you cant wait on the app store here you go. http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=14563&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm _campaign=Feed%3A+WmPowerUser+%28WM+Power+User%29& utm_content=Twitter

Great link over at XDA-Dev, user PatCat007 (thanks) for the great work(download 300 books from Epub) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=635947

I appreciate the effort, but have you even looked at the program from OMarket? It looks exactly like what you posted. Since I can't be certain whether OMarket got it from B&N or from some other source it might even be the same ripped application.

In my installation, at least, the library updater utility that people use with the tabbed reader does not seem to find any books that haven't been downloaded directly from B&N.

As of right now I have not figured out how to intergrate epub and other sources into the B&N app. The way I tried is I installed the app on my storage card so that folder was under Storage>Program Files> BN eReader. Then from my start menu I luanched B&N and downloaded one of their free books "Pride and Prejudice" (as you can see in the pics I posted, works great). This Download created a new file and path in; My Device>Program Files>BN eReader>Books. So as is plain to see the new book I just downloaded got stored there, I tried to instal some other books files (that came with the Manila sence 2.5 eReader tab from another rom) But they did not sync. Work in Progress still...

I am currently not running the Ereader tab on my devices current rom, but I will see what I can do. I think there is a fix for all this.

Check out the Patcat007 thread over at xda-devs this might help, additionaly I wanted to add that I see what your saying. It would be nice to have it all siply intergrate. I will continue to see what I can do. But give me some time, Ill talk to NGRZ28 about possibly bringing back the eReader tab so I can try to figure it out. Or I might have to look for an older rom and possibly flash back in the hopes that we can figure this out.

Gotta say though its better than where this was about 3 months ago. The app would not even luanch on my TP2.

I just upgraded to a new rom today (April 6, 23XXX Energy NGRZ28's Rom) NGRZ28 has re-added the eReader tab, and now I will see what I can do. Have finals comming up, however so bare with me. Thanks!

I'll bet you NRG is using the Borders eReader tab, since the Barnes and Noble eReader isn't tabbed and the Borders one is from a Leo ROM.

Not every bookstore that starts with "B" is the same thing. There are at least three applications called eReader - another is the former Palm, later Peanut Press, one also from Barnes and Noble.

I don't see that anyone in this thread has claimed they got the B&N eReader or its library to install on the SD card.

I misunderstood Improve - I thought he was able to get books downloaded onto the Storage Card, but after closer inspection, he was able to do was I was, that is, install the reader onto the storage card, but the program creates the folder in the device Program Files...... would be nice to be able to put the library on the card instead of the device....can't have too many books on the device! Here's the quote I was talking about:

Improve, I'll be glad if you can figure this out!
