For extra credit, you do realize that just because a EULA or other licensing says something doesn't mean you are bound by it or that it is even enforceable or legal to enforce it? The same is true for employee handbooks and other contractual items.
Rooting doesn't change the HW and if you restore it to factory settings and it doesn't work then you can still get your warranty served. Just don't go around telling B&N you rooted it. Sure it might be possible for B&N engineers to tell but certainly not B&N service. Though you may get a random accusation, I sit next to an unmentioned product's NOC and I have heard one of the service guys get all sorts of odd thoughts in his head. But if you push him and escalate past the random paranoid guy you get your warranty acted upon. Just make sure you escalate before it expires.
