1. It runs stock with modifications that allow it to break out of the B&N walled garden (if you can call it a garden in this sense). But preserves compatibility with all official B&N software and systems.
or
2. It runs a mod (Cyanaogen or similar) but can still run all of the stock B&N apps.
Is either 1 or 2 possible?

All you need is a basic root that will install google market. Then you have B&N's stock library etc, but you have access to other apps through google market or adbwirless, which allows your pc to connect wirelessly to your NC and install apps that way.
I did try CM7 by running it off SD card but it was to much a pain. If I wanted to get to the B&N stuff I'd have to reboot. Just a plan root worked for me.. now I have access to everything without rebooting..
I followed this
guide for rooting. The hardest part is all the gathering, once you have that done, the root is fairly quick.
