How To Turn A Nook Into An Android Tablet

This is ridiculous – and one of the downfalls of open source.  If you’re going to take a $99 Nook and turn it into a full fledged Android tablet, why not just spend the money and buy and Android tablet?  Sure, there’s the whole “bragging rights” thing about being able to hack a poor Nook to death and turn into a ravaging Android based tablet, but that’s not the point.

2)  Configure your newly rooted Nook

3)  Load up e-books
