Over a year ago, Barnes and Noble disabled the ability to install your own apps to the entire line of tablets. It seemed the company was not fond of people loading in the Amazon or Kobo official apps to buy books. Right now, there are two ways to install your own apps.
One method involves rooting your tablet, which is often fairly complicated. There is a great tutorial HERE on how to do it. This does not void your warranty in any way and actually allows you to do some amazing things. If you remove it, you get the default Nook experience.

Unlike the project name you chose earlier, this is asking for the actual Title of your book. Enter the title exactly how you want it to appear in the NOOK store.
If you have your own publishing company or have a name for your publishing business, enter it here. If you already filled out this information in your account details, it will auto-populate with your publishing name here.
The publication date is the date this book went on sale. At this time, NOOK press does not allow pre-orders. NOOK Press allows five contributors to be listed for each book. That means use your pen name here if you have one! Like the back cover of a printed book, this is basically where you tell the readers what your book is about. Descriptions are extremely important! Make sure you hook readers in with some kind of interesting question or detail that will make them interested enough to want to buy the book.
You can also use the Description section for advertising current sale prices or promotions, but be sure to go back and change it after the sale or promotion has been completed.
There is a max of 5, characters that can be used in your Description. I tend to think the shorter and easier to read, the better. Also, be warned that if you copy and paste into this box, the text might not come out exactly as you expect. Always double-check to make sure the product page lists your Description the way you intended. Just like it sounds, this is a box where you tell the reader about yourself as the author of the book. You have up to 2, characters to tell the reader about yourself or about the author of the book.
Whether or not you use an ISBN seems to be becoming less and less important as time goes on. The Categories section is where you enter information that will determine where your book is placed inside the NOOK store. First, you need to Add Categories. You can choose up to five separate categories. When you click on the box, a long dropdown menu appears.
If you have a non-fiction eBook, scroll through and see which categories fit your book best. When you select something in the first box, a second box will appear, narrowing the category even further.
Recently we went into detail on aggregators and what they bring to the self-publishing table. But there are some authors out there who would prefer a more hands-on approach with select retailers. There is a caveat to that last point. Self-E distributes royalty-free self-published ebooks to public libraries. Interestingly, across the board, small and medium publishers are getting squeezed out of the ebook market. With the rising sales of self-published ebooks, three of the major retailers attempted to secure their share of the market with a dedicated self-publishing platform.
Although there are many similarities among these publishing platforms, it will behoove you to look into some of the differences. KDP, for example, took a bold step by introducing the Kindle Select option.
