Nook Kids for Android Tablets

[Ravindra_D]

I dont think Nook App on android supports Nook Kids books. Is there a special apps like one available for iPad?

If not then any idea is B&N is going to release one for Android users?

I also want Nook Kids for Android. I have a first generation Nook and an Andriod tablet. I'm not buying another device. Besides, I wouldn't let my kids handle a $500 iPad. Android devices and users are quickly taking over the market. It seems irresponsible to ignore us.

I recently ordered an Android tablet from Woot!, and think it would be great to be able to read Nook Kids books on the device. My almost-four-year-old is already using the tablet for matching games, letter and number apps, and viewing Oceanhouse Media books (they have a great, albeit limited, lineup of Dr. Seuss and Little Critter books, among others).

C'mon, Barnes and Noble, let me spend more money on your products -- don't leave those of us unable to sink $500+ into an iPad in the dust.

while I agree with you that they should do the Nook Kids for Android, I would guess BN's response to the $500 for iPad would be that instead of an Android tablet you could have bought a Nookcolor and had all the Nook kids functionality and some of the Andoid for $250.

That's great that maybe they expect us to buy a $250 nook color but a.) I have a nook color that is rooted and I cannot access the kids books and b.) I would be even more upset that it wouldn't work if I had an even more expensive anrdroid tablet.

I would love to see this also. I have the Toshiba Thrive already.It would be great to use the books with my 2.5 and 1 yr old. I would even buy the app.

I have the HTC Evo View 4G I would love to have an app for Nook Kids to use with my grandchildren.

I guess this forum is unmoderated as no one from B*+&N has weighed in.

It's been almost a year since B&N released the iPad app and they already have an Android version because they are using it for their tablets. I'm very frustrated that they will not release the app to the market.

I would think there is more profit in the books than in the tablets. I would buy tons of books, but I will not buy a nook color or nook tablet because B&N only offers limited apps. The tablet does not have full access to the Android market.

I am in the same boat with everyone else.  I have a first gen e-ink nook, and an Android Tablet that my husband bought for work and then never used because his office provided some.  So now, my 5 year old keeps wanting to read a book on the tablet.  A Nook Kids App, or addition to the Nook App of Android would be wonderful.  That way we could read books together.  Seriously, BN needs to think about this.

"...some of the Android" is the key there. I have a REAL Android tablet that can access the Android market and run any Androind applications I choose including those not offered by the market. The Nook Tablet only offers apps Barnes and Noble feels are worthwhile.
