Perhaps I'm lacking in imagination.
So enlighten me, please.

You're not the only one confused. I'm a HUGE android fan girl, and rooted my own Nook Color to access the market, but I can't think of anything on the market that I'd want on an eInk device.
I never really understood the rush to root the Nook2.
Well, no, wait, I can think of one thing: the reading apps. Accessing Kindle/Nook/whatever via WiFi and/or downloading from Dropbox would be nice. But I would suspect that the navigation would be slow and tedious -- the Dropbox catalog I have set up is basically a webpage, and webpage browsing on eInk is so slow.
Still, I can see that being a bonus for some people. Probably not nearly as many as those that root the Nook Color, though.
