Linux works fine for other major ebook reader companies, whereas I've yet to see any Android tablet that didn't piddle on itself.
If the NC was built on plain Linux, not Android, you would not have much use for root, you would not be able to install any market apps - the reader would remain a reader, without the extra functionality you can squeeze out of it now.

I would be interested in reading that, could you please provide a link?
