You know your post kind of reminded me of the "Allegory of the Cave"

I seem to be one of those rare people who only wants to read books on my Nook Color. I bought it to read books with and it is fine for that.

No you're not it's the very reason why I rooted my device. I hated the software that came pre-installed. I did not like the B&N eReader (ironically the nook app in the Market is better than the one that comes pre-installed in the nook.)and hated QuickOffice PDF reader that came on the device. Plus a good of my books are in MOBI/Kindle format. If I hadn't rooted the nook I would have returned it and stayed with my Kindle.
Once rooted I was able to install REALLY GOOD apps that made eReading on the nook fantastic. Where talking about great ePUB readers, MOBI/Kindle books, and excellent PDF reader with annotations capability.
As an aside I ended up with an excellent tablet and the best eReader for only $250.
