What are the things that an android developer does to achieve it. So I need to know the basic functionality difference of IPad and other E-readers. I heard about Nook which runs an Android operating system. How do I test my app on that nook, i.e. is there any emulator configuration to test the application of nook? (Because I don't have nook now.) Can you post your suggestions to efficiently develop the application for nook e-reader?

Edit:

I need to know the following:

• What SDK to use for the nook Android platform.
• Configuration needs of An Emulator on AVD.
• Special key functionalities, like previous/next page.
• Specs and Functionality of Nook.

The nook does not run third party apps at this time, except via rooting the device. Hence, there is no official developer support for the nook.

---

In the not too distant future there will be a Nook store that will allow you to add third party applications. For more information see The nook developer website

---

At this point, there isn't any sort of third-party developing you can do for the nook, so any modifications you make are only available to users who root the device.

It is currently possible.

Update to an old question -- NOOK devices do accept 3rd party apps submitted through the NOOK developer program: http://nookdeveloper.com and sold through the Barnes & Noble storefront.
