Simply put, if your S/N is 1003* or greater, then
NO. And there's
an involved procedure in that case (more details
here).
If you have 1001 or 1002 hardware, then
YES. But you've probably discovered this already - sorry for confirming your disappointment
.
Having said that, the 1003 procedure looks much more compact and cleaned up (since it first came out).
By the way, for the previous posters,
here's a set of videos that showcase the rooted apps (including the library app xenophon was talking about). It does look nice (though a bit too much navigation imo, but that's the nature of the beast
). The nice thing is that the navigation can all be done in the LCD screen - so no screen lag (that we unrooted nookers have to suffer through while paging the library)! After the 1.5 update, I haven't felt the need for rooting (for the simple use I put it to as a novel reader) but I have to admit it is VERY tempting
. (I should mention that I'm on the old hardware with easy rooting but still don't see it as essential after the 1.5 update - YMMV). Sort by author and book search in My docs - that's all the nav I need (synopsis would be nice but what the hey).
Can anyone tell me if rooting finally confers the mythical abilities of annotations/highlights with save/export capability? In other words, is there an improved book-
reading app on the rooted classic nook? That, and improved PDF support are probably the only things that will make me root
.
