Actually every reader on the android platform has this colour scheme.

No rooting will not change the look and feel of your device, just give you the freedom to install any app you wish and even change the look if you wish. For me I was already familiar with the android platform so the nook was a disappointment for me. I actually am running Froyo and I really love the device now. Honeycomb is great buyr it's not ready for the nook, when it's ready I will install it for sure.
The OP cannot even read the manual and figure out how to turn down the brightness and use reader themes, you actually expect rooting to be an option? The stock night reader themes look almost identical to what you claim can only be accomplished by rooting.

OP, if you get a headache easily from reading on the LCD I think a night mode theme will probably make things worse as it adds too much contrast. I would try dark text on sepia and turn the brightness way down. The more dark background the more likely you will get reflections and thus more eyestrain. So I personally stay away from dark backgrounds and light text.
