I have seen several posts with people having issues trying to use the Amazon app store or install apps from the Amazon app store on their nook, so I decided to write up this brief guide.
1) You MUST have an SDCard installed BEFORE installing the Amazon app store. The reason for this is that the Amazon app store uses an SDCard to store certain information/cache/etc. While you can can get some things to install without an SDCard, you won't get all your apps to install without one. So if you want to install all your stuff from the Amazon app store, put an SDCard in your Nook FIRST.
2) From your Nook tablet, you can install the Amazon Appstore by typing in the following URL: www.amazon.com/amazonappstoreapp
3) You CAN use the same Amazon app store login on multiple devices. I currently have 2 HTC EVO3D phones and the Nook tablet all using the same login. The advantage of this is that if you (like me) have been grabbing free app of the day for a long time now, you will also have access to these on your Nook tablet.

hey is it possible for an app from the amazon app store to not be compatible with the NT? i think today's free app isn't compatible with the NT because it simply says so when I try to install it...
Probably. There are a lot of apps on the normal Android market that aren't compatible with the NT. The difference between them and the free app of the day is that they just don't show up normally. The free app shows up for everyone, since it's part of the "Advertising" section of the store.

I think I've done this correctly, but let me make sure...
I'm working with a rooted NT.
I uninstalled the amazon app using an uninstaller from the Android market.
I removed the SD card, which was not in there the first time I turned on the NT.
Turned off the NT
Deleted all contents on the SD card and reinserted it.
Turned on the NT
Installed the Amazon App
Signed in
Tried to install a few apps, but keep getting "Unable to install - This application was not able to install onto your device. Please "Archive" and then "Unarchive" the application to try again.
Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

This is what happens when you try to install a non-Nook app using the BN App Installer instead of the Android Package Installer. You need to navigate to the Manage Applications menu (get to it from NT Hidden Settings app, or the applications menu of ADW or Zeam, or any other possible way) and find App Installer. Click on it and then click the button that says "clear defaults." This should bring up a menu next time you install an app where you will choose to install with Package Installer, and set this as default. You should be good to go from there on (unless you try to install an app that is not designed for tablets/NT as indicated above).

Thank you for the assistance!
When I went there, no defaults were set. I went back to install an app and I still get the same error message, but originally I wasn't specific enough and left out this step:
I get a popup menu when I choose to install or reinstall an app and it asks me:
Complete action using - App Installer or Package installer.
If I choose app installer, I get the error mentioned. If I choose package installer, I get Parse error - There is a problem parsing the package.
remove sd card and put back in.
remove sd card and reboot and put back in.
it's something to do with the sd card.
Package Installer is what you should be using. From my experience, 'parsing error' has meant that the app is not compatible with the NT. So far these have included BeWeather, multiple games from Gameloft, and a drawing pad app from Amazon.

I don't think so, I was getting that error trying to download es file manager. amazon appstore stared to work after I removed sd card, rebooted, put card back in, download some apps off android market. So not completely sure what I did to get it working.
Ya, just for the sake of testing try MultiTouch Tester. It's free and I just installed it to make sure.

Well then that is probably worth trying also. Now that I think about it there are some apps that I tried to sideload and got a parsing error, then when I tried to install with Root Explorer they did work (but not all have). So I guess this only makes the error more unclear...

Worked for me. Worked with my old root, and now with Indirect's updated root script too.
Recently re-rooted after 1.4.1 update. Used Indirect's updated root script.
Is there some regional thing with the Amazon Appstore? I'm from England, on holiday in the US and I picked up a Tablet. I installed the amazon appstore fine and it worked and i tried to get it to download the free version of ES File Manager and everytime it starts it pops up with a payment issue and takes me to a webpage to sign in to add my payment details. I have a UK credit card attached to my account and figured that would be fine considering I'm not even paying for anything as its free but it wont let me. So can people outside the US without a US credit card use the mazon appstore? Also how do you get the Amazon App store icon to show up in the apps area? Once I leave the store the only way I can get it back is by re-installing it which is not ideal.

Thanks for this post. I've been searching for an answer to this problem since yesterday, and sure enough-- once I put an SD Card in my brand spanking new Galaxy Note 10.1 the issue was fixed.

Peggle is FINALLY available as a Wifi only download from the Amazon App Store as the FREE app of the day. After today (6/21), it's $2.99.
I tested it on my NC running Phiremod 6.3, and it works fine. It's a bit fuzzy (like Plants vs. Zombies), but it's better than nothing... and it's FREE!
I've heard of this game but never played it. I didn't get into apps until I got the NC. I'm still playing Plants Vs. Zombies by the way.
im on cm7 on my nook and it wont let me download it. says its incompatable with my device.. howd you get it?
Same, I can't download it either.
EDIT: Fixed. Purchase the app through the web store, and then open the Amazon App Store app, go to the My Apps section and install from there.
Yeah very weird considering how low end the game is.

I used my Windows browser to complete the "purchase" even though it's free. It prompts you to let you know it's incompatible but you can choose to continue.
Once in my Amazon AppStore account, I can download it without trouble.
I had it installed on my phone and then got it on my nook via the Amazon App Store. Later on I made the mistake of trying to move it to SD card, it failed and I ended up uninstalling it. I am unable to re-download it now from "My Apps" while in the Amazon App Store account.
Any suggestions?
These are the steps I used to set up my Nook Tablet and get it set up the way I wanted it. I have tweaked it even more but this is how I got to where I am now. I hope this collection of links to information may help others be as happy with their Nooks as I am with mine.
I am happy to have access to the Amazon ecosystem including buying apps from their app store and watching Amazon's instant streaming video as well as the Google Market and B&N Store. All this with the ability to access Netflix's HD content, an MicroSD slot, beautiful screen, sufficient processor & RAM leads me to feel that this is the best tablet for the money on the market today.
I would like to also thank Indirect, anlog, Loglud, gojimi, romified, t-r-i-c-k, robertely, Brad Linder and all of the other developers and XDA members that have worked on Nook tweaks and/or shared information for the benefit of others.
Just to be clear, I am nobody, I haven't created or worked on anything. I just mined all of this information for my own benefit and I thought I would post a copy of what I have found in a single post for those that follow. All of the credit should go to the people who created the posts that I am linking to.

On an unrooted tablet (not sure if it makes a difference), I just downloaded the APK and ran it like the others. Installed and ran without issue.

3. Run OTA Rootkeeper to temporarily unroot.
4. Run Amazon Video.
5. Click on a video to rent & a request to login will pop up.
6. Log in with your Amazon account info.
7. That is it, now just use the service as you'd expect.
Good Luck.

Does anybody have a link to the SWIPEPAD apk file by any chance? Unfortunately I am only side-loading, hence my problem getting it via the traditional market.
I really have tried to get this a number of ways, and in a number of locations, but have kind of hit a roadblock! What's ironic is that it would have been quicker for me to ROOT my device and load it via google, rather than waste the time I put into trying to side-load it LOL!!!
One of my friend have installed a pirated app of swiftkey...now the market have started throwing error for him for swiftkey and it had stopped giving predictions. He came to me asking for help. I told him i can only help in case he purchase it (and sale was also going on) so when he went to his market to buy it shows there already purchased (even after uninstalling from phone). I tried for him by detaching the app from the market from titanium backup but still it shows there. Cleared all cache and data for the app and market and still no avail. Is there any way to fix this or will have to go ahead and buy from another google account and have multiple accounts added in market ?
*(sorry for informal english and any grammatical errors that might have made their way in)*
Thanks much in advance!!
I have never heard of a pirated app showing as 'purchased' in the app store.
Uninstall the app.
Clear app store cache and data. Reboot.
if it shows as purchased, just reinstall. If not, buy it.
It seems like he wants the legit app and not the pirated one. If the app store shows it as purchased, and he/you, whoever, downloads it, it will be the legit app. The app store will not give you a pirated version.
I see no problem here, other than your friend pirates apps.
Titanium Backup has ability to detach apps from Market.

No it doesn't work like that. When I get free apps off amazon the market sometimes shows when they need to be updated. If you try to update them, it gives you an error saying you didn't pay for it. If you uninstall the app, it will still show up as purchased, and you won't be able to purchase it or install it.

No it shows. Normally when u install apps from Amazon or use some apk for testing then those apps too show as purchased in the market. U cant reinstall from the market and neither can purchase them. Market doesnt allow you to repurchase the purchased item(though infact it was never purchased).
I have tried detaching it from market though TiB but still this doesnt get fixed.
Not sure if reflashing the whole rom after a full wipe will help.
Anybody??

You could try buying it from the market website. Apps not installed from the market will not show under My Apps but if you search for the app on your device it will show as installed since it probably detects the app on the device itself.

No luck there too. Web market also shows that the app is purchased. Guess its synced to google market's servers and even reflashing wont work after full wipe.

That is weird that it happens that way. It has not happened to me and I use amazon market and have pushed many apps to my phone. I have not encountered this. Also, android market has never prompted me to update an app that I got from Amazon.
Not saying it does not happen, it seems obvious that it does, it just has not happened to me.
Is the app available on Amazon market? If so, can he just purchase it from there?

Was referring the Amazon apps case as stated by Waddle in the above post. And sadly Amazon not available in our country
I seem to have this issue as well. Trying to move away from amazon market and re-purchase my apps on the android market, however the amazon purchased apps are showing in my android market as purchased and I can't get rid of it.
Any other ideas on how this can be fixed?
sign in with another google id and you can buy it again.But this way has it draw backs too..
I have the same problem with swiftkey... I got it from the GetJar store a few months ago but it was an old version and i uninstalled it. now I cant buy it from the market as it is shown as purchased. and as said by abhisahara nothing seems to help.
cant anyone think of something to do?
Same thing going on here
oddly enough, I had dead space and shadowgun then i saw the 50% off and i uninstalled both from my android and then i went and purchased dead space and it worked but then went to purchase shadowgun and it shows as purchased and i cannot neither download it nor purchase it. It is becoming annoying. Any ideas?
have you tried uninstalling it from within the market app on your Android device?
My forum colleague found a way. Here is the solution - it's a croatian forum so i will write it here in english.
1. open Google play (Market) in Chrome browser (on your desktop/laptop) and find the wanted app (best would be that you backup the app via Ttitanium backup if you can, and uninstall it)
2. right click at PURCHASED, and select Inspect element
3. above the selected row you'll see data-ispurchased="true". Look at the screenshot (if the sshot doesn't work, PM me)
4. change"true" in "false" and select enter (on your keyboard)
5. now click PURCHASED that will open the popup for buy via google wallet so you can purchase the app (of course, you must have a valid credit or visa card and a registered wallet account for this to work)
it worked for me. bought two apps, cut the rope and quell reflect.
maybe it works in other browser, didn't try it.
had some problems with downloading the second app. had re-change the inspect element to true. and after the re-check the app started downloading on my phone.
thanks to my pce forum colleague Lacy for this info.
It really works, I've been looking for ages !
After a few tries and uninstalling the app from my phone, I could purchase it. No more update worries !

5. now click PURCHASED that will open the popup for buy via google wallet so you can purchase the app (of course, you must have a valid credit or visa card and a registered wallet account for this to work)
it worked for me. bought two apps, cut the rope and quell reflect.
maybe it works in other browser, didn't try it.
had some problems with downloading the second app. had re-change the inspect element to true. and after the re-check the app started downloading on my phone.
thanks to my pce forum colleague Lacy for this info.

You sir are a life saver!
if you only have phone access, I installed the 2.3.6 Market, purchased, then installed Google Play again.

I found a way. Here is the solution - it's a croatian forum so i will write it here in english.
1. open Google play (Market) in Chrome browser (on your desktop/laptop) and find the wanted app (best would be that you backup the app via Ttitanium backup if you can, and uninstall it)
2. right click at PURCHASED, and select Inspect element
3. above the selected row you'll see data-ispurchased="true". Look at the screenshot (if the sshot doesn't work, PM me)
4. change"true" in "false" and select enter (on your keyboard)

Thanks man! I've had this problem with Tapatalk and Swiftkey, I've had pirated ones, and now I wanted to buy them.
Ok so i followed the root for my 8gb nook tablet running 1.4.2 I wanted the amazon app store and did once have it working, then think i might have bricked or almost bricked. It looped the boot screen. When i got it turned back on it i guess reformatted itself and i started from scratch.
So since then Im running into the problem since rerooting my tablet that the 3rd party button unchecks itself. Ive been attempting to use easy installer to get it (amazon app store and homecatcher) to install. Ive also been using hidden NT settings from the market and still it unchecks itself no matter how many times ive allowed it superuser access and hit the allow 3rd party app button.
Last night i was playing with easy installer and i opened superuser and told it to forget hidden NT files, went to easy installer and it installed homecatcher (which works), and amazon app store(which wont allow me to install apps because its they arent from the google android market). So one hurdle is i actually got the amazon app store.. i just cant do anything with it.

i may be of little help because i am not running my device the same way as you are... but i think you're a little confused. . you can only 'side load' if you have 'unknown sources' toggle 'on'...
. and amazon apps are just like google play store apps. . please do some more reading. google search is your friend. do a search with a string something like this : 'xda nook "unknown sources" -color' . ( when you put key words inside quotation marks, the result is MUCH better )
.
ahh, and please post your questions in the Q&A section.
hth.
I have a NT with 1.4.3 and it's rooted with Play Store fine and dandy but I want Amazon Appstore also as I own alot of good apps on there from free app of the day. Tried but it wont let me install. Is there a way to get it working on 1.4.3?
Been awhile since I was on rooted stock..,which apk did you use and what did the error message say?

Ok I figured out how to get it to work. Problem was downloading via wrong browser apparently when I was downloading i would always push the "n" button and select web. When I did the following though it worked perfectly fine. Though I will be updating to CM10 seeing as it has been confirmed I have a 16GB and not the 8GB I paid for :laugh:
Step-by-step:
1) Press "n" button
2) Press "Home"
3) Press "ADW.Launcher"
4) Press the globe (browser) button on the launch pad on bottom of screen
5) Go to http://www.amazon.com/amazonappstoreapp
6) Bottom left corner notification tray will say "amazonappstore.apk Successfully downloaded) Select it
7) Choose Package Installer from the pop-up window
8) Press Install
9) Enjoy!!!
I downloaded the app store app to my sd card on my 1.4.3 NT and whenever I try to select the package, it tells me the nook only allows apps bought from the nook store...any ideas how to get around this?

In the nook hidden settings you need to allow apps from unknown sources. I got rid of stock root a while ago, but I think you can download it from Google play.

I think I'm going to give up on this one. I had to google what an app drawer is, then, once I found it, I still couldn't find the right security setting to allow me to download from unknown whatevers, and I have to figure out how to download google play after I get the Apk thing downloaded, so I can then download the app store. Ya'll are hella smart because I'm completely lost and so tired of googling everything under the sun, I'm over it, I even tried to read a crash report that was code ugh, so much for doing it on my own. Thanks for helping me out, though, I do appreciate it and kudos to those of you who can sideload and root your devices because that's a whole other ballgame!

It sounds to me like you haven't rooted your Tablet. You need to do that. When doing that Google apps (incuding Google Play store) will be installed. If NT Hidden settings isn't already installed by the root you can find it in the Play store.
I describe rooting under "B" in this post:
