Just prepare to get something of an Ubuntu first, with no touch, no sound, no nothing first.
For the reference, see the original NOOK "rooting" history and what was achieved so far at Nookdevs. In three words, NOOK is closing.

There are indeed a lot of ifs and maybes but i think this is a good start for the community. Lets try to be optimistic and see where this goes. It is my philosophy that no computing device is ever 100% hack proof so it is only a matter of time.
