I've been kicking the tires for a while now on an android tablet.
My main purpose for wanting this device is to cut down on paper to store a ton of pdf's on this device as a convenient way to read them. I currently own a 7" ( non android based ) e-reader and like the size - but navigating .pdf's is impossible. From Youtube video - The text overflow on EZpdf reader looks like it would fit my needs perfectly. I'd like to try it first - as I already own a device that's cumbersome to read .pdf's that I am trying to upgrade away from - I don't need 2 unusable devices.
If I can't get this device to fit my needs for reading .pdf's - I'll probably return it and look for prices or larger Tablets to come down a bit. B/c of this - I really don't want to root it out of the box - unless I know I'm keeping it. If I can - I'll Root and install CM7 or one of the other ROM's - and customize my device.
Before I purchase the NOOK CoLOR,
1) Is it possible to test run this device running the ROM and and .pdf reader file like I would like to?
2) How would I do that - is there anything I'd have to take off the Nook Color after using this ROM - in order to return it?
3) What's the ROM file I would have to burn onto a MicroSD to get this done? I've got a card reader - and a microSD card already.
FYI - I'll explore other android market place apps on the device once I own it if I choose to keep the Nook Color - but the only reason I want to spend 2-300 bucks right now is for the .pdf reading function. Everything else is want vs need.
If anybody could answer the above questions - or has any other suggestions - any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
