The nookdev site says not to root the nook if running version 1.4.1 or later. Will I miss out not being able to root?

It makes a huge difference in being able to sort and search and see any non-B&N books. Without these features, I would have dumped my nook and switched to an ebook with a real database ability. It looks as though the next firmware update, 1.5 has choosen to ignore these problems still, although we will have to wait and see.
If you don't have an extensive ebook library, you will probably be happy. I have 10 years of accumulated books, so I need real database functions. The B&N version library is very limited and buggy and fails on over 1275 books.
