How To Download Library Books To Nook Glowlight
Rooting the NOOK GlowLight Plus (Linux)
and opening Arabic eBooks (epub)
It's a compassion that the Barnes & Noble NOOK having such interesting hardware is non able to read Standard arabic (and Hebrew) eBooks out of the box. The trouble is in the stock awarding wich does not support it. Once rooted you can unlock the full potential of the device like installing a better launcher (see below) and using the integrated browser or a third political party capable reader.
Disclaimer: Please note that rooting your device voids its warranty and can brick it. Exercise it at your own risk!
All the credit goes to the writer of the original rooting script that can exist found at this XDA thread. The script runs on any distro.
Let'south practise it
Install ADB (Android Debug Bridge) included in the Android platform tools
sudo pacman -South android-tools In order to have our nook listed as a normal device nether /dev/ nosotros demand to install the android-udev package
sudo pacman -S android-udev Connect your NOOK and run adb devices You lot should have something like this
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX unauthorized XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX being the serial number of your NOOK
Go to Setting carte then to Almost. Click 8 times (or more if yous want) on the icon just above the Check for system update button, you will enter the developer settings page. Click on the second button (Android development settings) and tick the USB debugging checkbox. Ensure Developer options on the height of the page is et to ON.
Unplug your device and plug it once again. Run adb devices again and you should now accept your device recognized
If you are still not able to see your NOOK, please follow these instructions.
Download the root binder and its contents in your home directory. Launch the root script as follows
chmod 755 rootnook.sh ./rootnook.sh Later on a few seconds, yous should have the post-obit output, and the supersu app lauches on your device
./rootnook.sh: line 13: [: too many arguments files/: ix files pushed. 1.iii MB/s (7413987 bytes in 5.599s) pkg: /information/local/tmp/.nookrooter/european union.chainfire.supersu.apk Success Restarting adbd as root... Rooted. On some devices the boot animation will lag, just press the wake button to open the device. If that annoys you, you can remove the boot animation by deleting or renaming the animation file
adb vanquish su # here you lot should grant root access when asked by the supersu app on the device mount -o remount, rw /system mv /system/bin/bootanimation /system/bin/bootanimation.bak Finally, you can use adb to upload an ebook to your NOOK, here is a sample Arabic epub
adb push AR-Kalila-wa-Dimna.epub /sdcard/NOOK/My\ Files # "Kalila wa Dimna" is famous collction of fables translated from Persian to Arabic in the 8th century Et voilà
The integrated browser

For a amend experience
- Install ReLaunch, an first-class community launcher and file managing director well adapted to the NOOK
- Install a skilful reader like
Moon+orAldiko - [Optional] Disable the stock NOOK application (Settings -> Apps -> All -> NOOK), this will relieve some battery and some data sent in the backgroung (I don't accept books purchased from B&Due north, so I don't mind the service disconnection)
- Install
Button Saviorawarding to have a floating back button just like normal tablets
Bonus: Rooting the GlowLight three
This XDA post reports that the same script works on the NOOK GlowLight three, yous just need to alter the model number in rootnook.sh from BNRV510 to BNRV520
ANDROID_SERIAL= `adb devices -l | grep BNRV510 | sed 'south/ .*//' ` For the GlowLight 3, should exist
ANDROID_SERIAL= `adb devices -l | grep BNRV520 | sed 's/ .*//' `
