Can't read books for free from B&N (not sure why you think they would become free). Rooting the device has no effect on the B&N reader. Browsing forums is not realistic on this device and I have Opera Mini on it. Looking some thing up briefly is feasible. Battery takes a huge hit.
I do not think the original meaning was that B&N books would become free. The question was if the books which can be read for free without rooting (in store, special offers) would still remain free after rooting. If I am right, I can say that for me there was no difference in this aspect after rooting.
Rooting for me was a good option. You have access to things not available without rooting (different reader software, additional software, changing the look and feel, new functionality - for example setting the cover of the current book as a screensaver, to be shown when the Nook is in sleep mode).
