Were here for all your rooting and flashing needs. By the way, its almost impossible to brick a Nexus!

As long as you ensure you have enough battery charge to complete the root/flash operation. Going dead during those operations can brick your N7.

I would try it. I have been underwhelmed by the default Android implementation on the N7 altho it is amusing to see all the wild wild west app dev underway !!
Rooting or this Linux version would seem to be competing alternatives but I would expect some considerable difficulties getting Linux applications to run properly on a flash memory based tablet device.

heh, yeh, I have been wanting to try NFC out but my N7 is the only NFC enabled device in this household. I understand that data transfer is actually performed by the BT connection and the NFC itself is only used for the handshaking and connection management. But that's second-hand info so ...

You could try bypassing the problem by using a streaming media app that has a Sky "channel" or even swinging by with a browser to see what you can get.
It might be worth a look at iMediaShare, BubbleUPNP, Plex, or XBMC to see if you can get a functioning Sky stream.

. I thought the op was trying to change file names and such.. I still think a file explorer would make life a lot easier to run the ball.

Yes, the OP will be able to do those things with a File Explorer but not until he gets the photos PHYSICALLY on the N7. That's what Bigtroutz and I are trying to get across.
+1 --- yep, that was my point, ty NMI is a strange animal compared to how one might think about a file storage access program. But it is not the program's fault but rather the result of internal limitations purposely put in place by google when it modified Android to suit it's purposes. One of the advantages of rooting your N7 is that people can put Linux type default low level I/O device drivers back in place like stickmount does. One of the annoyances is that Google removed them in the first place. But even with stickmount in place, Android still suffers from crippled file system I/O, imo, compared to better Linux or Windows routines. Good BIOS integration has always been an achilles' heel of professional grade OS development and Android will always lack until this issue is resolved.

NMI is read-only in that you can not use it to write to the external flash memory. It works fine when you READ the file and WRITE the file to internal storage.
In addition, NMI does absolutely NOTHING that would allow other apps to independently 'see' the files on the external device, it merely provides access to whatever compatible files it "pipes" to the selected destination app. Piping is when one program sends a file-data stream to be used by another program - and this is what NMI does.

There are lots of alternative eReaders, you know. The issue is one of downloading the file without DRM or with at least a clear file name. This can be done in some cases and there are apps out there that remove DRM or other eReaders that can deal with certain ePub DRMs. more info here if you are curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Android_e-book_reader_software

not so dumb - you just are stuck having to deal with Amazon's arcane attempts to keep you ignorant and forced to work within their system.
Kindle books are stored in the folder /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files and below, depending on the content. The files are given coded alphanumeric file names and covers & other content is stripped out and stored in separate files.
To move an item to the archive, press and hold on the item listed to the right side and select the 'remove from device' choice from the popup list. This actually moves the item into your archive.
As far as I know, you can only move books to 'archived items' and I think the file remains in place and may not be actually removed from the N7 ever.
Since you can have thousands of books in storage on a typical N7, it's not to much a problem. Perhaps someone else knows how to actually delete files short of guessing and deleting with a file manager from the mentioned folder.
------------
in general, you can open the book from any of the folders (add the "periodicals" folder category, too) ---whichever choice you select is displayed in the scrolling covers list to the right.

Yep, it does work but it's just not very flexible is all. I do get annoyed by any of the attempts to close off your alternate options by big corps. imo, if I buy a book, a movie, a song, I should be able to use if how is best for me, not most profitable for them.

I would just do the Google play gift card because then he can use it for anything on his tablet.

Most Google books have DRM and as far as I know almost ALL are ePub or PDF files. The google ereader sux and by default they hide the books you download into coded file names. As far as I know, any books you purchase must be downloaded into the google default ereader and downloading them for an alternate ereader is a pain in the butt. My take, Google Play is one of the worst choices for book purchasing out there. YMMV

best thing to do it plug it in and see what happens. the firmware on the TV will determine if the N7 will be recognized as a data source. You also may need to toggle the various settings on the N7 and TV (if the TV has any).
my TV see's that the N7 device is plugged in but then ignores it as an unrecognized source.
You can always transfer files to a recognized USB device via your desktop or with stickmount (needs root) on your N7.
