Gospel Library for Nook
Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2010 5:51 pm
I am curious about improving the scripture reading experience on the B&N Nook ebook reader. I know that there are epub versions of the Bible and Book of Mormon and that since the Nook reads epub files, some strides have been made into providing the scriptures on the Nook. However, my son owns a Nook and he tells me that there are no footnote links in the church provided files and so navigating by cross-reference is not possible (he uses his laptop as his scriptures).
I'm thinking we could do a lot better. I am the community team lead for the Android version (GLA) and since the Nook runs Android, I'm thinking that we could potentially port GLA to the Nook.
However, it seems that someone from the church needs to contact Barnes & Noble in an official capacity to see would they would allow us to do from the standpoint of installing a custom application on the Nook (without "softroot"ing it). Have we done that? Just curious.
