@tubemonkey: Your arguing two separate points. It's one thing to say the nook after your modifications meets your needs, as a reader and surfing tablet. Which I agree I have a rooted nook and is works great. You also now your own needs and tech limits better than anybody else.
However arguing that it's as good as the galaxy tab is just not correct.
There is much more to hardware than just processor speed. There is bus speed, onboard catch, graphichips, mother board design that greatly influence the overall product.
Then take into account a finished os. The nook root is no where near polished. App don't with right on it. Dialog boxes don't show up correctly, the settings are unique to the nook and don't use the standard os settings. The os is not supported so where left to use community hacks that are not easy to install.
You have the hacker mentality for many that's part of the fun, for many
more that is to much effort that requires more knowledge than the average user has.
