If you have access to several B&N and Best Buy stores, I'd recommend checking to see if any have the 1002* serial number wifi Nooks, because they are much easier to root, and IMHO, they will probably remain easier to root after the 1.5 firmware release. At the moment, I can't recommend an unrooted Nook for anyone with a sizable side-loaded library. I don't believe B&N customer support has any inside information yet about the 1.5 firmware, but the press release reads as though B&N will not support searching and cataloging side-loaded content.
