Actually you don't need to root to use Overdrive. Check your local library and see if they have digital books. You can search for a local library here:
http://search.overdrive.com/
Then you just need to authorize your NC with Adobe Digital Editions (free software from Adobe). That's because the library books are DRM-protected using ADE encryption. It is a good idea to authorize your NC with ADE anyway because then you can buy books from other sources besides BN such as Borders, Sony, booksonboard, etc. You just download the books from the library (or other ebookstore) and sideload via USB cable to your NC. It is a better method because then the book can be read within the Nook's Book Viewer which has more features (color themes / annotations / dictionary) than the Overdrive app. The Overdrive app book viewer is very basic. However, it is a good way to get library books and read them if you are away from your computer. That's the advantage of the app.
