Thanks a lot Scion!
I'm afraid I still don't quite get the Softkeys thing. Could somebody maybe post a picture?
Can they be disabeled or deinstalled after (auto)rooting?
And then, if using another homescreen than the standard nook one, will one still get the Nook screen symbol (the one which opens the menue "library, extras, settings...").
What does it look like anyway?
I've googled for pictures of rooted NCs, but most I get is only "Angry birds"
