Rooting a Nook involves re-writing the basic software to allow the addition of numerous applications that solve Nook's problems and some new things not available with Nook. Some info here. There is additional info here but a lot of their information is out of date. It is hard to find anything current now as the advent of the color model pulled a lot of hackers away from the classic.

The main advantage, essential for me, was the ability t use nook library which solved all the file problems nook insisted on sticking us with.
