Barnes And Noble EBook Reader Hacked
Barnes & Noble, the popular publishing company, released a competitor to the Amazon Kindle in late November called the Nook. It was equipped with 3G capabilities and WiFi as well as other similar features such as an ink screen and matt finish to avoid glare.
However, fans of the device (who run a site called NookDevs) just released a guide which enables users to easily hack the device. And it really is quite simple. Even a novice user could do it.
All that is required of the user is to pop open the device and remove the memory card. There are then some changes to be made via a PCÂ (namely gaining root access to the operating system) and then the card is re-inserted. You can find the instructions here.
