NOOK on the A500

**EnergyPlus** · 09-28-2011, 04:17 PM

I have had problems with the NOOK app since day 1. It won't bookmark properly, always returning me to 15 - 20 pages behind the bookmark. Both Acer and B&N have been no help (Acer had me spend 45 minutes trying to uninstall the app before finally saying "oh, you can't uninstall a preinstallation app"sheesh.

Anyone else having this issue and is there a way to uninstall and then reinstall without rooting?

no there is no way to uninstall a system app without rooting.

you wont get OTA updates either if you remove system apps.

That's weird, my Iconia didn't come with the Nook app. I had to download it from the market.

Thanks all...Acer finally got around to answering an email and instructed me to clear the content of Nook and then redownload it. That seems to have worked.....for now. Axoid, I have seen similar situations with other devices. It depends on which build you have. Yours was probably earlier, before Nook came along and had it preinstalled. Personally, I wish that had been the case with me! I hate not being able to remove something, especially when all I want to do is fix it.

Currently, I am annoyed with the locked bookmarks in my browser for sites I don't use.this far though, I am preferring the stock browser over Mini-Opera or Dolphin. It just appears to work much faster. Oh well!
