Where there’s a will, there’s a way. We’ve long grumbled about the big eBook retailer’s insistence on proprietary formats, registration, memberships, etc. that force the consumer to read their eBook purchases on specific ‘tethered’ devices or platforms. One could buy an eBook, but had to read it where and how the retailer dictated.
Well, this geek.com post and video shows in no uncertain terms how old that concept has suddenly become.
Because the new Barnes and Noble E Ink Nook Simple Touch Reader runs on Android, a minor hack can root the drive, thus opening the door for you to read Amazon Kindle books on the device.
It’s really quite amazing, and about time. Doesn’t that also make it the first E Ink Tablet?
