Now the price for simpe touch is US$99. If I use Comgateway (my US ADDRESS is Oregan), how much total am I expected to pay for delivery to SG?

Just include GST and take the minimum weight cos the NST is lighter than that. Guestimate is around S$15 or more.

what credit card did you guys use to buy stuff from nook store?

I thought the POSB Debit Mastercard that i used to buy the Nook Tablet could do the job but they labeled it as a Singapore Credit card. So as my Fairprice Plus - OCBC Debit Visa.

Was assuming it would have no problems because bought books from kindle store before. Im guessing all this while they just look @ a US billing address or shipping address and Nook Books actually need a US-able Credit card?

My friend have a DBS Debit Card and it worked for him fine. Do I actually have to go make one? hmmmss :s22:

IIRC, I put my billing address as my CGW address. Nothing happened, payment went thru fine with MasterCard.

I just got a new nook Simple Touch. Heehee.

Now how do I load ebooks from PC?

I borrowed one Ebook from our library. And I use Adobe Digital to open it. I can read the book from my PC.

Now how do I load into my nook?

Hi,

My frien just intro me Nook, I have never heard of this before but I see the spects are really good and the price is like half of ipad. I'm considering Nook HD+, which is currently on pre-order status. Question is, can it download apps like normal android hp in singapore? or it uses other OS or app store? sorry I'm kinda noob with Nook!.. :D

To my limited knowledge, the HD is not really full powered tablet. It's meant for reading more than been used as a tablet. So the functions as a tablet is limited. I'm sure u can download android apps, but not every app. So u need to have limited expectations

If u want full powered tablet and half cheaper than iPad, go get google nexus 7.

Sure some ppl will say u can root the HD to be a full powered tablet, but what's the point if there's google nexus 7 available. It costs abit more than nook but u get what u want

Does anyone here know how to install nook on an android device? I have a vpn service but somehow it can still detect my phone from outside of the US. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The thing is I would prefer to purchase from B&N store since I have a Nook... but if that's the case, I'd just purchase from Kindle using the Kindle app thru my Root.

What credit/debit cards are you guys using? Am I the only one having this problem?

I feel like fully installing Gingerbread inside since I am unable to access the nook store....

Recently, my Nook Touch has gone crazy. I have the habit of putting books into shelves (folders).

Then sometimes, when I power it on, it will say no SD card detected, so I remove and put back SD card, then all my shelves will be resetted. So it means I have to sort my 100+ books back into shelves.

Hardware or software problem? If its hardware, worth it to send it back for repair?
