How To: PlayStation Gaming, Dual-Booting, and 6 Other Cool Ways to Get More Out of Your Nook eReader
If you have a Barnes & Noble Nook, you may be surprised to find that your eReader can do a lot more than just display ebooks, which makes it a great alternative to those more expensive all-in-one tablets that do everything (seriously, everything). If you want to get more bang for your buck, here are a few ways you can hack your own Nook.For some of these, you will need to have a rooted Nook.

PlayStation GamingIt's no secret that Nooks come with an Android operating system, which makes it all the easier to hack, even if you're into gaming, not reading. By using Mini vMac for Android and a free PlayStation emulator, YouTube user ndncnbvcuyuys was able to play original PlayStation games on his rooted Nook Simple Touch with the NoRefresh app installed.

Dual-BootingIf you can't decide between your two favorite operating systems, you can dual-boot your Nook using this hack by xda-developers member japzone. It works with Mac, Linux, and Windows, and looks pretty simple as long as you're already running Froyo or Honeycomb. You can also do this with Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich on a Nook Color.

Android MarketWant more apps on your Nook? If you've already installed Android OS, a hack on NookDevs will show you how to add the Android Market. You'll need a Gmail account to set it up, and also be aware that if something goes wrong, you may have to re-root your Nook. Image via androidcommunity.com
