Skip OOBE on Nook Simple Touch (NST)
I’ve been having issues with the OOBE on my Nook Simple Touch. It will simply not register to my BN.com account.
Fortunately, there is a way to skip the OOBE and get the device to a mostly-working state:
Skip OOBE:
On the first screen that appears on the NST without tapping any button.
1.Hold the right top button and move your finger from left to right on the top of the screen.
2.The factory button will appear at the bottom right of the screen, tap it.
3.Hold again the right top button and tap the right bottom part of the screen, where the factory button appeared
4.A button labeled skip oobe will appear, tap it, your done
For the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight and Nook Simple Touch with 1.2 firmware, the “Factory” button appears on the top left, and the “Skip OOBE” button will appear in the blank space at the bottom right.
