I was the one that posted I didn't have the trial subscriptions anymore on the Nook. However I still get a trial subscription offer when I go to the Barnes & Noble site.
Purchasing and subscribing to magazines/newspapers works the same whether rooted or not. You might have to get the free trial online, however. But it should push just fine to the eReader.
ETA: Well I don't know what I was doing when I posted that I lost access to the trial subscriptions...I just took another look and sure enough, the trial option IS still there (on the Nook itself AND online).
Honestly I was back and forth on this as a tablet but the more stuff I find for it the more I like it (like the location services Scion posted in this thread)...
