I’ve only messed with the google docs app briefly, but didn’t have any problems so far. I’m glad to hear Minecraft works well on it I haven’t tried it yet on the nook but was impressed by the graphics quality of dungeon defenders.

Sadly the dolphin browser doesn’t seem to work, but Opera is still pretty nice. Luckily, the nook is easy to restore to stock releases.Įverything is going pretty smooth but the Market more or less stopped working for me (nothing I saw online helped really), but I can still sideload apks from the Evo. I actually just rooted it twice the first time I must have done something (not sure what exactly) to hose the installation, as it became unbootable. Give me a full office suite that is ODF friendly and a bluetooth keyboard, and I may just ditch the netbook for good.Įdit: Removed repeated sentence fragment.

Granted, it’s ARM so it’s hardly a direct comparison, but come on! That’s simply astounding. The battery lasts forever, HD video playback is smooth as butter, e-reading is quite comfortable and even the alpha version of Minecraft puts the netbook to shame! A consistent 25-30 fps vs the netbook’s 5-10 fps, on a device with half the RAM and half the processor speed. The Nook at 800MHz and 512MB has already proven itself to be faster, more powerful and more efficient than the 1.6GHz netbook many times over. The screen is 1024×600, same as my netbook, and LO works well on that device. Whether that issue is fixed or not, if this LibreOffice on Android thing pans out I think the Nook will meet or exceed all my needs regarding general mobile computing.

I’m wondering if there is a fix for that. I’m having one specific issue with the device: Google Docs consistently crashes on loading. Just curious: What’s causing you to have to root it over and over? I’m asking because I have a rooted Nook Color on loan from a friend, who is trying to get me to buy it from him (he wants a Kindle Fire).
