I did it okay using NookManager. V.1.2. One thing. My battery life was terrible until I renamed a couple of .apk files in the system/apk folder. One was about cell standby. That was the bad one. It was eating the battery even in sleep mode. Also I installed an app to force the reader to go into deep sleep mode when sleeping. Once I did that, battery was okay.
I tried to get norefresh working but it doesn't really work for v.1.2. I've only managed to get it running a couple of times and then it deactivated itself. I can't be bothered downgrading fiirmware or re-compiling kernels to get it to work. Would be nice thought. anyone got it going with v.1.2?
Overall, I'd say rooting a Nook is not that easy. sure you can root it. But you have to get rid of the cell standby process or you will have no battery life. At least, that was my experience.
Apart from that, it's great. I can read spreadsheets and take copius notes as well as browse and read, all in one device. Otherwise I'd have have to drag a tablet round with me too. Great buy. I love it and glad I rooted it, but I know computers fairly well.
