I admit that I too like to tinker. Probably not even in the same league as coldsun though. At this stage of tablet technology the rooted NC may appeal more to tinkers than readers. That said I have 4 Eink readers and do most of my reading on my NC. Each reader has advantages and disadvantages. Part of what I like about the NC is due to the hacking (even if I'm not talented enough to be a leader there I can at least follow). Eventually what is being hacked today will be standard tomorrow. {If you remember back to the early days of Microsoft, their OS was designed to run in 1 MB - note that Mega not Giga - but they evolved.} Android will evolve as the hardware evolves.
Part of what some people see as hard with rooting their NC is that there are many variables and this is confusing but it also allows versatility. Eventually (and it is pretty close already) the whole rooting process will become almost (if not entirely) a plug & play procedure. My hardest part was getting Softkeys setup properly. Well actually the hardest part was that my first NC had an internal problem but once B&N replaced it the rooting went easily but Softkeys was confusing. Thanks to a post from the XDA site, the confusion was solved. Now I'm as happy as a pig rooting under a hicory tree.
