Now You Can Use the Nook Touch ... As a Kindle

An anonymous reader writes "Barnes & Nobles' latest e-reader has already been hacked. In a couple of surprise videos this morning, the hacker zoryl showed the Nook Touch running the Kindle app and running ADW Launcher. The second video also hints at the presence of Bluetooth."

    A Ford with a Chevy motor is probably one of the most popular rat rod recipes out there.. And the Chrysler Torqueflight transmission is one of the automatic transmissions of choice.. There are kits available that make a Chevy powered Ford with a Mopar transmission very easy to build.

    This is the Nook Simple Touch, which was available yesterday. The Nook Color's been out since November. It's news because the various Nooks have been rooted for a while now, and the latest Nook iteration apparently did nothing to make it harder.
