congratulations!
and thanks to @prateekS again.
epub is not designed to contain large images.
for your manga images, the best way would be to convert them to either pdf or cbz.
btw, have you guys rooted your things?

Haven't rooted the nook till now . rooting and using the nook for android apps without noRefresh seems of no use ( too much screen flashing )
For my secondary usage of manga reading , for each page around 2-3 refreshes will be done in a android manga reader , which is half the time i will be spending in reading that page...
Other than that my usage is reading books , which the nook software does nicely . all my books are in epub.
@hotshot05 , just download this file using a download manager - link
connect usb to ur pc and transfer this file to nook's root storage folder.
then eject the nook drive and disconnect the usb. now put the nook to standby(pressing the back power button).
Takes around 5 mins for nook to detect the update and the update itself takes around 10 mins , after update nook will restart and take you to your main screen.

You can upgrade and root.
In fact, this method suggest you to upgrade before rooting

So the flip cover finally arrived today 
Was shipped on Dec 5. So took just under a month to arrive, which is close to double the time from what I've previously experienced. The cover was shipped in simple packaging with a single layer of bubble-wrap. As can be seen from the pictures, there's an inch long dent on the upper left side of the front cover. How it was caused, I am not so sure but nevertheless, it can be ignored. There's also some sort of glue residue on the upper edge of the front side. Tried wiping it with a soft wet cloth but it still can be seen faintly. Apart from that, there's nothing to nitpick with the flip cover.
Fits the Nook perfectly and even has the Nook signia on the front side and a 'nook' engraving on the back. Looks cool!
Functionality wise, the cover is very good. The NST has 4 slots (2 on top edge and 2 on bottom edge) and the flip cover makes use of one on either side to hold the NST with its clips (don't know the right term for them). It holds the NST quite firmly and exudes a feel of sturdiness.
Ergonomically, the cover is a delight to hold. Not slippery at all and the weight added is negligible. The front cover can be retracted in a way how we normally hold a book when reading single handed and as such, using the two buttons placed on the NST's left is straightforward. This was one of the concerns of expressed in this thread and needless to say, it's not an issue at all. The snaps below present a better picture of what I want to convey. They've been clicked from a phone cam so excuse the quality.
If I've missed out on anything, please shoot a question!

@eternoMind Best possible news coming on the first day of the year. Will order it in a few days.
By the way, is the cover sturdy? If it is not, will buy 2 and keep 1 as a backup. The Nook will most likely last for 2-3 years and so don't want to go looking for a cover if this one breaks down withinin a year.
And should I use my credit card directly to buy from Aliexpress? Or should I use a VCC?(I have ICICI B2)

I would term the cover sturdy enough. If, in those 2-3 years, your NST is going to spend most of the time at home (or in one place), the cover should pull through without issues. In case of traveling, I still think the cover will last quite a while before you need to get another one. Personally speaking, will take a call on the need to buy an additional one after using this for a few months at least. That said, most of the usage will be in home environs only.
You can use either. I used a VCC so you can use B2 as well. Just be prepared for a month long wait for the cover to arrive though.
Btw, the pictures in my previous post don't do justice to the cover. Adding a few more here that highlight other things about it.

Was searching for something else when I came across these for the NST on eBay.com. Seriously good options if you ask me. Make sure you consider them before ordering from AliEx.

I had seen these already on AliEx even before I got the NST in hand. But I had not researched in detail about these. But on the eBay page, I saw all the pictures. Seems to be much better than your cover. The 2 clips on your cover does not give me much confidence. Most probably will buy it from eBay itself. Costs almost the same as yours after I factor in the International shipping charge.
How much and where did you buy it from?
is the text displayed sharp enough?
are there any page ghosting issues? (that is traces of previous page remaining even after page turn?)
can you change the font and size of text displayed?
Thanks for the reply
There is no page ghosting issue. After 5-6 page turns, the whole screen will go black and refresh.How much and where did you buy it from?

Text display is perfect. But don't know what will happen if your text is in a picture. For normal text, it is just like paper.
You can change the size of text. The text will reflow automatically. I don't remember it having the option of changing font. Will check and tell you.
