The Nook makes an inexpensive Android tablet, but its lack of hardware buttons and the need to download many apps to customize it, give it a poor out-of-the-box just-rooted experience. There are workarounds for app-switching, but they are 'work arounds'. E.g. I have softkeys set up on a single press of the N key which pulls up most recently used apps and allows fast switching between apps without going back to the home screen. But you have to configure it. For folks who don't want to fiddle like this to get everything configured 'just so', it's not a good experience.
yeah but this entire post is just a bitch session. His last statement was that the NC is certainly not a universal ereader, and that was completely ludicrous. It reads pdfs, epubs (both adobe and b&n DRMed format), kindle, html, cbr. The only format I dont think it handles is iBook epub.

Even unrooted the NC is a pretty nice epub reader.

If OP wants some help, just post some questions in the forums so we can help his NC experience
