I have been able to read my B&N books on the Nomad Reader. In my testing so far, I have noticed an improvement in battery life over the 1.5 rooted firmware I previously had. Just make sure you don't have the wi-fi lock engaged and stop ADB if you are not using it either. I have let my Nook sleep for a couple days at a time with no drastic drops in battery life. When reading, it drops roughly 2 percent an hour. When browsing, it increases to about 3 percent for me so far.

I like how they added the wallpapers from the new Simple Touch, they are nice I think.

I do wish that the guys would allow PDFs to be read natively via the Nomad Reader because I like the rotation feature...pretty neat.
