That's why I wanted to go ...

Why rooting a device and not using it out of the box?
As a matter of fact, people rooting not Amazon devices and what's one of the 1st thing they do? Installing Kindle app. Would not be easier to buy a Kindle device since the very beginning?
People should actually spend a bit more and getting a device that does not need to be rooted. If a device needs to be rooted, means that is not good enough for that user, out of the box.
I know of lot of B&N users who just got tired of keep rooting and "being slaves" of new XDA ROM in order to fix the device after an official B&N firmware upgrade over the network. Sorry, I don't want that.
