OP is self described as non-tech savvy. OP was asking whether to root or not. I'm not trying to talk down a noobie out of anything, but clearly, she's having problems with the auto-rooting process. I'm just suggesting that she try to enjoy the device for what it's worth right now rather than bring a bunch of grief on herself.

I think that even if you aren't tech-savvy, attempting to root can teach you a few things, and you can learn a little bit more about your device. Not to mention, if you get it rooted correctly (which I haven't) you'll feel like you made a great accomplishment. I'm not technologically proficient by any means, I had a lot of trouble when I first started the process, mainly because I had issues writing the image to the micro sd. But, once I got
that squared away, the rest was relatively painless. Two heads may be better than one--DH helped me, and he pointed out a couple of things I was overlooking. But even if you attempt it yourself, it can work. And there are always people here who can give you tips and point you in the right direction.
Go for it, OP. Read and study instructions, and then go for it. It's probably not going to be really easy, but it will be worth it. My main reason for rooting was to be able to have a kindle app on my nook, and rooting, for me, accomplished that goal. I'm honestly not trying to be self-deprecating, but if I can "root" this thingamajig, anyone can.
