I would not recommend making any comment to B&N customer support in case you face issues though. Rooting is totally unsupported by B&N.
On the ethical side point of view, I believe that it is kind of dual moral being a B&N supporter and buy a B&N device just for rooting. They basically make money with the stock device and rooting basically bypasses most ads and B&N features that help the store to make money, selling books. The stock device is not intended to run Kindle app. or Android market but B&N market. If the apps are good enough or not, that's a different story.
Anyway, you're 100% free or rooting your device or do whatever you want with it  |
Well I wouldn't want to root it completely just be able to side load apps is pretty much it. The Market would be nice but I'd be happy with sideloading apk files working.
