I have the nookand I love it.
With one, screaming exception-- the support for sideloaded PDF's, which is what I intended it for, is nearly non-existent.

Now, I have been thinking of rooting it with Froyo, and using one of the better PDF apps out there, but a few questions.

1. Froyo is on the SD card, so it doesn't harm the "main" operating system of the Nook color, correct? I can always just pull the SD card and set it back to the original system. I don't want to risk anything permanent happening.

2. What is the best pdf app out there right now? I mainly want to be able to see my bookmarks that were added to the pdf in acrobat pro, as well as a bit more speed.

3. Is there anything a newbie needs to know? I've never done this before, and I don't want to kill myshiny new Nook.
