I’ve posted before about the Nook Tablet having a DRMed bootloader and how that will make it difficult to hack. B&N did this on purpose; it makes escaping the garden that much harder. Yes, there’s now a way to install apps via the web browser, but that was also designed to support the walled garden. That loophole acts as a safety valve. The NT owners who are truly desperate for a tablet experience can (with some difficulty) install apps, and that cuts down on the desire to fully hack the NT.

I want a tablet to play videos of my choice (streaming and sideloading), surf the net, and do lots of free apps. Don't really care if it's hacked, semi-hacked, or walled in to get those things.
