Storage space

[Doreenpv]

Has anyone reached their full storage space yet? And if so...did you have to purchase a SD card for additional space? And if you did...did you order it from B&N?

It depends on what storage space you are referring to. I got a message just yesterday, while updating apps, that I ran out of storage space and needed to archive some apps to make enough room that the updates could download. I asked B&N and was told that apps cannot be saved onto the SD card. However, you can take the Nook into a B&N store and have that storage space increased by having them repartition the memory. I haven't done this yet, but did read that it will wipe everything that is stored on the Nook itself.

As for the SD card, just got buy a micro-SD card from anywhere. I'm sure you can find much better prices by going someplace other than B&N.

This is only true for older Nook Colors (sold more than a year ago).  Check in settings to see how much total memory you have for B&N products.  If it's only about 1GB, then then repartitioning will take you to 5GB,  If it's already 5GB, you are out ot luck.

I have an older NC and had it repartitioned a month ago. It has made a big difference with Apps. However, I bought the game Romance of Rome and dowmloaded it When it started to install I got the message "not enough space to download cache" but I still have over 80% free space on my NC. Everythiong else downloads and installs right away. What could be causing this App to do that?

Also I just went to the Web place on my NC and opened the Facebook icon that is there. It is in Spanish!  Could the repartitioning have caused that and how do I change it?
