Barnes & Noble is looking for help in making its Nook e-reader more versatile. The bookseller has opened itself to app submissions, allowing garage code-tinkerers everywhere to dream that their creations will be used by people who own the device.

CrunchGear reports Barnes & Noble will allow developers to access tools and forums at NookDeveloper.com. Their wares will have to clear approval hurdles before they’d presumably be put on sale in the Nook store.

If you own a Nook, what sort of apps would you like to see on the device?
