<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>I apologize if the question show my newbie-ness with regard to android.<br><br>Nook prices got so low (around $150), that I bought one. But I am having trouble transferring files to it for using to play video. <br>
<br></div>USB connection shows one file, an html which sends me to download an OSX dmg file for a mac.<br><br></div>I have not used it yet with windows, so I am not sure if this is a solution. I prefer to not use windows if I can, and I definitely do not have a mac laying around.<br>
<br></div>If I connect to a video file on a remote machine, it streams rather than saves it.<br><br></div>If I rename it as .zip, it downloads it, but then tries to open it with their office suite.<br><br></div><div>AFAIK there is no 'terminal' that would allow me to access the directory system and rename files, and VLC does not have an 'open file' option, which ignores the extension and looks at the file type.<br>
</div><div><br></div>Any suggestions how to bypass their stupid protection, other than rooting the device and installing another OS? This is planned for the future, but I am not ready yet - I want to work within the system.<br>
<br></div>Thanks,<br><br>Z.<br></div>
