Are Nook and Kindle apps available on the Nabi XD now (posting: 9/28/13)? Does this tablet support digital textbooks (elementary)?

Some apps are supported by Nabi, but even the Amazon appstore is limited. There are many compatible books and textbooks for Nabi. Again, there are very few popular apps available for Nabi.

Since the last OTA update that actually makes the home screen look like it does in the pictures, Nook is actually included as a app on the device itself, no need to go searching for the .apk if you want to install it

I end up buying Samsung, because Nabi has restrictions which I initially didn't see.

Also, don't be fooled by the picture, the Nabi XD is NOT made for teens. They have NOT updated the platform and is just like the Nabi 2 or Jr. It's a huge let down. You might as well by a Kindle Fire HD.

There are Kindle versions and Adroid versions. Download the Android version if available. Kindle versions may or may not work, but you won't break it if you try.

Yes, I had the google play application as well as the amazon which gives many apps to download as well as both nook and kindle book apps.

You can buy the books off the store on the nook. If you haven't got the nook yet I would say get the kindle and then you can buy them on Amazon.

Hello, the nook is very easy but I do not know how it compares to a Nabi tablet.

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

I am sorry, but as I said in my review, I bought the Nook Tablet as a gift for someone. I have not actually used it. I do, however, own a Nook HD+ and it runs the Kindle App so that I can read Kindle books on my Nook HD+.

@John...sorry, but I don't know which one you have...the Nook or the Kindle? Since the forum is for the Nook, I guess that's what you have. I'm very interested in buying one and would like to know which one you're having trouble with. Also, did you get the problem fixed or did you purchase a new one? Thank you in advance for your input...I appreciate it!

No, the Gigs are apparently limited to the program. Which means If the nook is in Android mode there is no available storage.

Mine came with the Kindle app in it so I am able to get kindle books. It comes with Google Play/Google store where you can get all kinds of books, movies, games, music. I also went to Barnes & Noble and set up an account & got the Nook app, Actually the Nook app is available in the Google store for free. Now I am able to get books there also. A if you go to www.bookbub.com they will send you a list of daily specials. You pick the genres you are interested in reading.

Yes, several months ago, BN decided to update the HD and HD+ to have Google Play on it. That means you can still get apps from the Nook Store if you want, but you can also get them from the Google Play store as well. (Just know that there are still some apps in the Play store that aren't compatible with Nook devices only because they require hardware that the Nooks don't have, like Skype, which requires a camera. Other than those, all Google Play apps will work on the Nook HD and HD+.)

This android for nook will only work on the Barnes and Noble Nook tablet. Besides the nook hd plus has google play store now. So, it would be basically pointless to root a Nook HD +.

Go to the Android Play store and search for ebook readers. In short, yes, you have dozens of choices for a variety of formats plus Kindle and other proprietary formats, PDF and a variety of open ebook formats. The only hardware aspect is this has a great screen.

I would still buy the Nook HD+, the screen is better, the operating system isn't as locked down (IE I can install regular android on it and use it as a normal tablet, it had a microsd slot and even the native ebook software is superior. I use mine with the free Calibre on the computer (which can convert any ebook file to any other ebook file and am able to read books from anywhere. If you aren't just using it as an ebook and are unwilling to learn to put a normal operating system on it I would probably look at another tablet as an option. I will say this has far better specs ( screen /processor/memory) at a lower price than any almost comparable tablets!

With 2.0 you can side-load android apps like the Kindle app.. also has good, free/cheap ebook readers you can download from App World

Hi Phyllis... To be honest, after I bought it, I realized I didn't need it-- I got used to using my fat fingers on my new iPhone 5s. And I don't have a nook tablet though I can't imagine it wouldn't work.
