Not a mod, and armchair modding isn't the greatest ideas, but until one of them chimes in, I think this is really the safest bet. Books have copyrights, just like anything else. If you're not paying for that, then it's illegal.

I think we can probably thank the iPad for the Random House pricing. Since they have to give the house of Steve 30% of the purchase price and they aren't allowed to sell them for any cheaper on any other store per the App Store rules, the price goes up and everyone gets hosed.

Thanks Apple!

Pretty sure Amazon was taking a 30% cut before Apple hit the scene.

Incidentally is it still forbidden to talk about the iPad here? Especially in light of the upcoming iPad 2, the recent introduction of similar devices like the Motorola Xoom, and research showing that not only is iPad e-reader market share exploding but consumers are far more likely to read magazines and newspapers on iPad than any other device, a market which combined generates more annual revenues than books, and is also presumably of interest to readers of this thread?

I'm going to weigh in and say no because your post was so wrong, the iPad is not an eReader, and people can't handle talking about Apple and non-Apple products in the same place. Especially because of iPad 2.

The iPad is not an eReader nor is it an MP3 player or a calculator simply because it performs those functions. Laptops and iPhones read eBooks and you wouldn't put them in this thread either. It is a tablet and has a thread.

Guilty: May 3, 2003; Ask me about how people having a bad reaction to MSG makes them racist, because I've never heard of gluten sensitivity

Does anyone have any recommendations for a Shakespeare collection for the kindle that includes line numbers? I know it might be kind of hard for that format to show up on the kindle, but if anyone could find one it would help me out immensely.

Preferably a complete collection rather than individual plays, I find myself having to do a lot of intertextual stuff.

Well, within academia it's not supposed to, since they're all supposed to be based on his original Folio prints. There are several publishers using several editions and the line numbers are pretty uniform throughout, in print editions.

But I've perused about 7 samples of kindle editions and they all don't have numbers so I'm thinking they just got lazy with these.

The Aphasian: Mar 8, 2007; Psychotropic Hops

I'm not sure how that would work, due to the oddness of where the numbers would be displayed depending on what your font size was.

code:

 35    Out, damned spot! out, I say!�One: two: why, 
 36    then, 'tis time to do't.�Hell is murky!�Fie, my 
 37    lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we 
 38    fear who knows it, when none can call our power 
 39    to account?�Yet who would have thought the old 
 40    man to have had so much blood in him?

I think your best bets are to make your own, pdfs (ugh) or http://www.shakespeare-navigators.com/ (e.g. http://www.shakespeare-navigators.com/ado/AdoText11.html ) or similar simple (text mostly/only) website.

Let's rejigger the whole biz because of ereaders, which will be around forever.

e: to put it more constructively, rather than come up with a new pagination standard, the ereader/document itself should be flexible enough to use multiple forms of pagination at once: word counts, line counts, "standard page length," originally published pagination, etc. This would allow for "far more robust methods" while not obsoleting older documents/criticisms/works that use the old schemes.

Consider also translated works (particularly poetry), which would not retain the same word count as the original (due to translation), but will still likely retain the same line count. Then, there are translations and updated translations, with their various differences.

Maybe I'm not with the times, but line numbering is probably going to remain the better way to reference poetry and Shakespearean stuff.

I'm pretty sure that since reading on some form of computer-run screen has existed since 1968 or so, it'll not go away. Real paper book editions of the same book do not have the same page numbers at all times as other copies, it's silly to expect ebooks to as well, especially because then you have to decided which paper copy has the "real numbers"

In any case, it's not the ereader's job to insert line numbers if whoever published the book didn't. And honestly, having the software attempt to figure out the correct line numbering would probably generate line numbering inconsistent with the standard for Shakespeare. Seeing as Shakespeare is fully public domain, why not self-publish on the Kindle Store a version with the line numbers? You can do that, you know.

I'm not asking for the e-reader to do that though. I'm asking if anyone knows a publisher who did do that in any manageable way, because it would be amazingly loving useful to me, especially since a lot of my work cross-references several shakespearean plays and it's nice not having to drag along paper copies and then i'll forget which ones I need, etc.

No one knows of a publisher who has made one?

So has anyone found a decent drawing app for a rooted Nook Color? I was looking at Sketcher, which is okay I guess, but I wanted something that's a little more along the lines of a painting app, specifically that maybe has an undo feature of some sort or something.

The Nook Color has exactly none of those features out of the box. It has the ereader functionality, a web browser, the Pandora music player, and some lovely games (sudoku, etc). There's an official app store in the works, but no idea what apps will be there. B&N has said they'll be limiting the market to apps that are of interest to readers, but that's obviously pretty vague.

I mean, you can check email using the web browser, but any of those other features are going to require rooting.

Yeah, like Doc Faustus said the only thing she'll be able to do right out of the box is check her email. She can go to eBay. But apps aren't the Nook's think. Sounds like she'd be much better off with an iPad.

As an eReader, it's incredibly easy to use right out of the box. It's mostly charged so you just unpack it, turn it on, and get going. Web browsing is nice but takes some getting used to.

I've had my NookColor for a week and a half. I love it even though there are some annoyances. With the marketplace coming soon, I'm thinking the annoyances will go away. Things like no Flash, PDFs without DRM opening in QuickOffice instead of the book reader, and how the home screen and shelves are handled are things that could be fixed/changed easily.

I picked up a pack of antiglare screen protectors and was surprised to see that they work pretty well. I just wanted to cut down the glare from overheard lights and they do it. I don't have to keep adjusting to get rid of light spots. Responsiveness is the same, the screen isn't much darker (I keep the brightness way down anyway), and they feel fine.

Did you get the B&N official one? That's the one I got and the responsiveness is a little lower, I feel like.

Also all of those limitations of the Nook can be removed by rooting it, and as far as my own read of the B&N TOS, it does not actually void the warranty as long as you don't use it to put any illegal stuff on it or bypass any of B&N's security measures regarding their store and books. You can even continue to use their store after you've rooted, with no issues.

Yeah, I got the screen protectors B&N sells. The thing is still supersensitive sometimes. I'll sometimes put my finger over the screen when I'm almost ready to turn the page and just hovering will make the page turn. Hasn't changed with the screen protector.

I'm going to hold off on rooting it until after the marketplace has had a chance. I'm afraid that if I root it, the thing will become a massive time sink since it'll be a tablet. I read two books in the first four days of having it. That was great. I've been reading less for the past couple of years partially because of my computer and iPhone. I'm not in a hurry to make the Nook a distraction. It's bad enough that I stay up at night playing Sudoku on the thing.

One method is to set up a stand alone US account, assign your Kindle to that and then use your primary account to buy gift money to the US one. You need a US shipping address, but you can just make that up as receipts go to your email anyway.

You can set up an alternate address on your primary account and switch back and forth, but Amazon do send out warnings and whilst I'm not aware of anyone been banned, I think they have restricted purchasing for a time period.

I have a fake US address on my Amazon account that I will use to check availability and price comparison (Australian). I've logged in as my US address for books that are unavailable in my region, sent previews to my Kindle, switched it back and later been able to buy it from my Kindle at the US price. Haven't had any trouble yet, but I do this very intermittently.

However, I do need a case for it, and I can't help but feel like my whole experience would be more enjoyable with a hand-strap on the back so I can more easily hold it and turn pages with one hand. Looking at Amazon, I can only find one case with that feature, and I hate how it looks on the inside.

For what its worth, I do the same thing as Nibbles141 sometimes. I'm in Canada but have an American address in my profile I switch to as an alternate for certain things that aren't available here. I don't do it terribly often, and I haven't been at it for very long, but I still haven't received any negative reaction from Amazon. (I like to think that it would be low on their list of things to have a problem with, since I'm just trying to figure out a way to give them my money, but that could be wishful thinking.)

The official lighted case has a hand strap on the back (or technically the strap that holds it closed becomes a back hand strap when it's open). Works great, I use it all the time.

I'm Australian and I've tried the 'fake US address' thing for buying stuff on Kindle from Amazon. It worked for about a month but after that it wouldn't let me buy with my US address anymore and forced me to either provide proof of my address or change it back to Australia. I'm fairly sure if you used a US proxy you wouldn't have a problem but they do eventually stop you if it's obvious you're not in the US.

I read something, but couldn't find verification. AutoNooter is on a microSD card. If you take the card out, is the Nook back to it's pre-rooted state? And then you can pop the card back in for the rooted Nook?

No, it flashes the main Nook build, so when you remove the SD card it will boot with all the bells and whistles. I just did this on Friday, and in fact if you try to boot it with the flash SD after its been flashed, the Nook won't boot at all, like it's bricked. You can just wipe the card and it'll work fine again.

Autonooter is awesome and easy to use. The longest segment of getting my NC rooted was downloading the software.

Once you root, you're good: you don't have to keep the rooter on the card. There's no harm in keeping the rooter there, but you'll lose out on that fraction of storage space.

I've got a new Nook Color, not rooted or anything. The problem I'm having is I can't get books to populate the little row at the bottom of the homescreen. It shows all the samples I read from the Nook store, but not any epubs I grabbed from feedbooks, or Adobe epubs borrowed from the library. They show up in the library just fine, but not on the homescreen.

Is there a way I can force it to show all the books I'm reading there, not just my Nook store books? Is there any other way to move books to the homescreen, other than dragging them off the homescreen shelf thingy?

I remember reading that the home screen in the Nook Color is only for items bought from their store.
