This is a list of Apps that work on the Nook Tablet, but are either missing from the Android Market or need to be sideloaded for whatever reason.
(I started this list because I wanted to add some descriptions with these apps before downloading/installing.)
Many of these .apk files come from posts/threads on XDA Developer Forums Here is the main thread where most of these .apk files can be found. XDA Forum/MUST-HAVE APPS (side loaded)
I have only linked to the downloads… I do not maintain copies of the actual files.
