How to Take Apart the Kindle Voyage to Root It (Video)

June 21, 2015 by Nathan

Kindle Voyage Apart

The other day I came across a YouTube video that shows how to easily disassemble the Kindle Voyage.

Much to my surprise, it turns out that it’s entirely possible to sideload third-party Android apps onto Barnes and Noble’s new Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablets. But before you get too excited, B&N doesn’t make the process easy. In fact it’s pretty much a total pain in the ass, but it is possible, and […]
