No, all 3 options I outlined are possible. I chose not to root because I don't think I'm Android savvy enough to dig myself out of any hole rooting dropped me in. Many people have had no problem at all, others have. The installation process seems simple, I suspect the problem comes when installing/uninstalling/configuring things one doesn't fully understand.

There are 2 methods to install Morkl's app, one for those who have already rooted and one for those who don't want to root. There are some brief instructions inside the downloaded zip. The process for non-rooted T1s is very simple if you're using a Windows PC.
This is Morkl's main thread. He has 2 separate customised apps
- one to tweak the Homescreen appearance (limited benefits if you haven't rooted)
- the other is the Reader app - this is the one you need for custom fonts. It also lets you customise font-sizes and change the no. of pages between screen full refreshes.
This is
another thread where Morkl's Reader app is discussed at length.
Edit: Everything I've written refers to a Sony PRST1 not a Nook. I think similar things can be done on a Nook but you'd need to ask in the Nook forum.
