As an aside, and since I started this mess, let me just say, I still love my Nook. I have had great customer service experience (replaced an early model with cracked beazel with zero problems), and I still love the device itself. It goes everywhere with me and I am reading more now than when I was a college student with all the free time in the world. I don't want a Kindle because its proprietary and doesnt let me expand my memory. Having said all that....

I will NOT softroot the device and thereby void my warranty. I'm an attorney, and I can get most of what I want from a company in terms of replacements, etc, but not if I've hacked the thing. I will in no case look to softroot the device unless it becomes absolutely necessary for me to do so. We're talking not-being-able-to-access-all-my-non-B&N-content necessary. That is, I think, why so many people are so vocal about wanting organization ability - either they lack the desire or skill to softroot.

I'm not frustrated to the point of changing readers, yet. I don't think the sky is falling. I'm just disappointed. But I will continue to support the device, because i love the hardware. I am just impatient for the software to catch up.
