When I first got my nook I really wanted to keep the stock OS and not fuss with the device, I did not want to tinker with a tablet/reader. After all I had my eInk eReader for two years and never had a need to tinker with them.

However I found the stock nook reader and PDF reader to be horrible and painful to use and I found myself rooting my nook in less than a week and promptly installing Kindle/Aldiko and ezPDF.

I now have CM7 and couldn't be happier. It has made reading PDF, Kindle, ePUB the best experience as well as make synchronizing books (Kindle,PDF,ePUB) trivial. Writing documents using a robust app like "Documents To Go" and the ability to change keyboards like SwiftKey, SlideIt make typing very efficient.

In addition to that some of the productivity apps really make the tablet a great tool, such as evernote, calendars apps, SMB Windows network browser, and also games.

In the end I do primary read on my nook but having a tablet device has also help in my productivity since it is much easier to carry an 7" tablet than a laptop/10"+ tablet.
