I rooted my Nook Color just a few days ago, and I find that my reading habits haven't changed since I rooted it, meaning, I'm still reading just as much as I was. In fact one of my reasons for rooting was seeing so many folks here praising other reading apps like Moon+ and Aldiko, so I'm trying those out to see which I like best, instead of the stock. That and I like being able to read Kindle books on the Nook.
