(60,010 posts)we have learned that one can turn a Color Nook into an Android tablet with the use of one MicroSD card.
total cost for the converted ( and fast) Nook "tablet" being around 200.00/250.00.
( You can get "re-conditioned" Color Nooks for around 140.00)
Here is the sentence I read that led me to exploring the idea:
"N2A 16GB Micro SD card that allows you to dually boot up into full Android without rooting the machine. "
I was reading about buying a Color Nook here:
http://www.buy.com/prod/nook-color-by-barnes-noble-wifi-ereader/221376447.html
and down on the page found a bunch of reader comments on how to convert.
I found out there are lots of how to videos up on You tube.
There is a company selling n2a card, ( I found it on Amazon) pop it in and you have Android platform.....kinda cool.
It does not void warranty.
Others who are more skilled have figured out how to partition the Nook drive to use some of the RAM to speed up the now-tablet functions.
who knew?
