How to have a local EPUB file full of messages and images on a Barns and Nobel NOOK Touch Simple with E-Ink. E-ink allows you to put up a real window display that will work in direct sunlight and with high-beam headlights on it. It can't animate or refresh itself, you have to manually choose which display you want.
First you have to know HTML and write a local web page on your PC with the images in the local sub-folder.
Draw some pictures or paste some pictures and modify them into MS PAINT (Paintbrush) and save them as JPEGS in the sub-folder.
1. Write the HTML with text messages like this
  <HTML>
  <BODY>
  <CENTER>
  <p><H1> STOP TEXTING NOW!</H1></p>
  <p><H1> SUNDAY DRIVER</H1></p>
  <p><IMG SRC="IMAGE1.JPG"></IMG><BR></p>
  <p><IMG>SRC="IMAGE2.JPG"></IMG><BR></p>
  <p><IMG>SRC="IMAGE3.JPG"></IMG><BR></p>
  </CENTER>
  </BODY>
  </HTML>
2. Save it as a .HTML file.
3. Download CALIBRE (free) at http://calibre-ebook.com/download
4. Then import your HTML file to CALIBRE then Click on “convert book” and select EPUB format.
5. The .EPUB file can be USB ported to your NOOK and be viewed as a book of images and text messages.
6. Turn off the screensaver and the display timeout and use a car lighter power supply to save the NOOK's battery.
7. Make sure it's either in LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT, whatever you prefer.
8. Hang it in back window on a cell phone or tablet suction cup holder turned backwards.

I tried the CALIBRE EPUB method and it works. You just have to put in enough page breaks ( <br/> ) in your HTML file to make a message or image take up one whole page on the NOOK. That way the display is not one paragraph but separate pages to choice from. Get a cell phone suction cup window holder from Walmart.

I haven't tried the local wifi hot spot mobile web server idea yet for the NOOK. Who knows, an auto refresh on your mobile web server may cause the NOOK to refresh too. Never tried it yet.

Are you sure? yes | no
