How did you get Kindle on it, I mean where did you download it from? Also, what browser are you using, I have Opera mini and it is very inconsistent, some pages and link work but it mostly shuts down.

Decided to bag it.
Even rooted w/all the apps installed too, it looks too cumbersome to use as a PDF reader:

Okay, I broke down and bought one cuz of your post.
I hope it's not too hard to root! But I guess if the PDF reading thing turns out to be a pain, I can always return it.

Sorry for the late reply. I was specifically talking about the native reading app that comes with the Nook, not third party apps. Those may in fact, be superior for that purpose.

That's what I figured. EZ-PDF reader and Repligo reader works fine on this thing.
Customizing the nook even gives you accent to the Amazon Appstore...but honestly, those are irrelevant to me.
