Exactly.
I have one rooted Nook Simple Touch and it makes very poor tablet. You can install a few reading apps, such as coolreader but that is it. Android 2.2 is quite old and you can't install apps on the card, only to the limited memory.
I have also purchased a *very* cheap (50USD new) LCD tablet with 9" screen that was marketed as a reading device. Even that device is a disaster as a tablet. An old version of Android, combined with poor display [according to the today standards], resistive touch, small memory... .
It works so-so as a cheap reading device.
