Rooting your devices doesn't do anything magical. As a matter of fact many people who root their device can't tell if it's rooted or not. And a lot of folks ask what now?

The power of rooting is having the freedom to install whatever app you wish to install and configure the device how you wish.

For me I was not happy with the stock nook, I thought it did a lot but did it very poorly. Rooting the nook allowed me to install the apps I wanted making the nook an awesome device. I installed better browser, PDF reading apps, kindle 4 android, Moon+ (epub reader), productivity apps like Documents to Go, and some other fun games.

My advice is decide if you are happy with the nook, don't waste your time rooting the nook. If you are not happy with it and would like to make the device a better eReader and tablet, root the nook so you may install the apps that would make it better.

There are tons of good youtube videos and tutorials on how to root the nook and how a rooted nook looks like. I would recommend watching those videos.
