I'm in the UK too and as soon as my Nook HD connected to wifi it downloaded the software update which installs/uses Google Play.
I have downloaded both free and bought apps I already had in my Play account to my Nook HD without any bother at all.
So personally I have had no problems with the update and can install/use apps from the Google Play Store alright.
The only problem you will find which throws up a notification to the user is if you have a newer version of an app on Google than you have on the Nook HD from Barnes and Noble. I got this on a couple of apps that came pre-installed, a newer version was available from Google than B&N had. But I went ahead and let it be replaced to stop me being told this every time the Nook synced. It replaces the older Nook app with the newer Google one but tells you that the Nook one can be re-downloaded at any time from Nook.
No actual problems to report from my own experiences. Also I haven't rooted my Nook HD either. I love it to be honest. I bought my Nook just at the beginning of May via the sale here and the update came via wifi not pre-installed. But my experiences with both tablets and eReaders is that they never come up to date so to speak and firmware updates upon wifi connection of the device itself.
