With a Kindle you buy books from Amazon.com. How do you buy books on a Nook? From B&N like Amazon?

Yes. Super easy to order with your B&N; account. Just set up the nook and it is all very easy from there.

This is an old question but deserves an accurate answer. Amazon wants to lock you into their book format, Nook (Barnes & Nobel) wants to lock you into THEIR format... and that infuriates people. So don't let them manipulate you like that. Download Calibre, it is a free library manager that ranks at the number one spot on all serious eReade's list. Again, it is free. It uses plugins, easily found on the internet, and also free, that allow you to use any device you want (it converts the formats for you). It can also remove the ridiculous file locks so you can actually save (backup) the books you buy or read them on any device you chose. This is an old question but deserves an accurate answer.

I have no idea. I've been very happy with the Nook, but there are some books that have been formatted only for the Kindle, and are copy-protecyed that I can't run them through Calibre, so I'm considering getting a table that I -lnow- can read btth formats.

You wouldn't be able to go from device to device, but if you bought your books through either the Nook or Kindle you can just install the appropriate app, like the Amazon Kindle app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&feature;=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hbWF6b24ua2luZGxlIl0Once you have the correct app installed you can access everything without having to re-download or copy any files over. If you have the books in epub or pdf format there may be a default reader built in, but I don't know about it. I use a Kindle for e-reader since the screen is more friendly to stare at for long periods of time.

I believe as long as the ebooks are epub, you should be able to side load them to your nook or side load them to an sd card. I have done that with my Sony, Kobo & Smashwords ebooks. I used to have a Sony ereader, and when I switched to nook, I downloaded the Sony ebooks to my computer, hooked up my nook to the computer, and dragged the ebook files to an SD card that I had loaded on my nook. Same with my Kobo & Smashword ebooks. Another option would be to see if there is a BooksAMillion app in the google play store. You could load the app on your nook, sign in to your BooksAMillion account on the app, and your library will show up within the app. I also just went to the BooksAMillion website and it appears that they used to sell Nook devices on their site, so I'm sure that would indicate it is compatible. Hope these suggestions are helpful and you can always visit a Barnes & Noble store Nook counter and the sales staff can assist you with any questions.

I'm not sure how it compares to the Galaxy Nook but I do use my tablet to read. In addition to the Nook app I also have the Kindle and Kobo apps so I'm able to read books from any major ebook seller.

It works both ways. There are e-books available at B&N that aren't available on Amazon. I just downloaded the fitness book "Better Than Steroids" on my Nook Color. It's not available here. I notice that every once and a while. Some are only on Amazon, some are only on B&N.

I haven't myself tried to download any Kindle ebooks on it, but I've read that you must change the format to MOBI or something similar. The formats between Nook and Kindle aren't compatible without changing either formats.

Thank you Alan. I will have to try that out. I ended up getting a Nook from B&N.; I was able to go into the store and play around with one which made me feel better about buying it. I know that there are some books on Kindle that I'm going to try and convert.

You should try to register your device through the device. Open kindle app on your device and go through the options to register or signin. You will put in your amazon userid and password. When you finish this process you will have registered your device.. To validate go to amazon website and manage my kindle option to verify that your device is registered. Just by putting in your serial number amazon has no way of locating your dvice.. So you should register through your device. Once your device is registered then you can buy kindle books from either the device or from the web site.

Search for "cover for Nook" or "Nook cover" on Amazon.com, visit the Barnes and Noble web site, or go look at them at a B and N retail store. There are hundreds available - in every design and color.

Yes. I had to do a bit of a work around to force the Google Marketplace on mine, and put the Amazon App Store on at the same time, but apparently you can just download the Amazon App Store app from Amazon and install it straight out. Once you have that, you can download the Kindle app. That's pretty much all I use my Nextbook for these days, reading through the kindle app.

No, NOOK HD is a very secure device that Barnes & Noble has locked down. However, if you root it (learn how at http://dottech.org/91094/how-to-root-install-google-apps-enable-unknown-sources-and-flash-manual-ota-on-nook-hd-and-hd-guide/), you probably can install apps from Amazon and Android.

I got rid of my Nook. Get a Kindle, you will be a lot happier. Nooks are junk.

Yes, you just install kindle app, then sign in to Amazon and download your library. It was really easy.

I am reposting a part of my review with a legal and easy hack out of the B&N registration process. So far, I 've never connected the device on the internet. "There are issues with B&N registration and purchasing policies though, so here's a legal hack to overcome the registration process and use Nook offline. Of course, you won't be able to use B&N bookstore this way. Power it up but don't enter setup. Hold the right/up "button" and drag your finger to the top of the screen, from left to right. A "Factory" button appears, so press it and go to the "Factory" menu. Again, Hold the right top key and tap somewhere in the emtpy space at the bottom right of the screen. A "Skip Oobe" frame should appear. Tap it and you are done. You don't have to register, give credit card info or whatever. Your kudos to Terence Eden's blog."

Yes, I have both Nook and Kindle on board my Galaxy Tab4 and both work very well. It will do everything that a regular Nook or Kindle will do. Samsung Store has free apps for both that are designed specifically for your Galaxy Tab 4.

I think this is one of the first editions of the Nook. No, it doesn't have a light. The newest editions, like Nook HD and HD+ have a lighted screen that you can adjust for your own convenience. Since they have been out for awhile, you might be able to get a good buy on one over the internet. I highly recommend paying some extra dollars. I have them both and they are terrific. You also might be able to get one refurbished for less money but will work just as well. Caution, if you buy a used or refurbished nook, or even a new one that is listed on sale, make sure that it doesn't have a previous owner's membership on it. Otherwise you won't be able to use the internet. Most manufacturers or sellers will have email access and you can ask them if it had a previous owners data on it. Beware of buying one from a single resident seller, because they might not have gone through the procedures to remove their ownership data.
