Personally I thought I really wanted the cover flow when I had my classic. It turned out I didn't use it anyway once I had a rooted Nook.

Unfortunately, my Nook Classic upgraded itself to 1.7.0 and my serial number now starts with 10113. Whatever trick I implemented I cannot degrade the firmware version to 1.5 or earlier so that I could root my Nook Classic. (I don't remember exactly but I think its firmware was originally 1.5 or even less; I bought it almost a year ago, and the 1.7.0 upgrade is the first upgrade I did unintentionally). So I cannot root it in any case I think.
Another reason why I wanted to root was to substitude the system fonts through ADB with turkish-friendly fonts so that I don't have to implement Extra CSS trick each time I want to read a Turkish epub. Even if I use this trick, book titles still lack of proper Turkish fonts. Only solution seems to be font substitution; however, I understand under my current circumstances I cannot till another and new exploit.
Asawi, could you confirm please so that I will give up for now at least.
I still don't get it why B&N does not make a firmware update to improve non-latin fonts in Nook Classic. Next generation Nooks are all non-latin fonts friendly and no one experiences the problems that Nook Classic owners do.
