I wasn't planning on rooting, at least not until giving B&N a bit of time to issue updates that would fulfill some of the Nook's potential.
But then we got snowed in, I got bored, and...
I'm not regretting it at all. I got my wife an iPad for Christmas, and the Nook does everything it does, in a much more convenient size, with better battery life, and at less than half the price.
For everything other than work related stuff, or anything that involves a lot of typing, it has completely replaced my laptop.
