Thanks for the response!

So, I'm not sure if I'm understanding the process completely:

http://nookdevs.com/Softroot

1. Roll back the firmware (I'm currently at 1.5)
2. Install the custom firmware
3. Replace nookLibrary (Do I just adb install the 1.7 version, and also adb install the Nook Sync app?)
4. Block updates:
adb the following command (1.3):

<code>adb shell rm /system/app/FirmwareUpdateService.apk</code>


Am I missing anything? Also, will I lose all of my books/media when I roll back the firmware, or will everything still be there? It doesn't mention backing up your library.
