Like I said, if I hadn't gotten used to the full android already, what you describe would most likely be fine for me. Maybe I'll play with my HD+ before changing it and see how I like it. I'm currently using Jellybean on my HD.
Karen, before you dump stock, check out lengthy PDFs on the native Nook Reader. Notice the large thumbnail navigation? I haven't found that on any other reader yet.

I tried Repligo and, while there is thumbnail navigation, the thumbs are so tiny as to be almost useless! They are like about 1/20th the size of the thumbs in the Nook native reader. And I couldn't find a way to make the thumbs larger.

I bought the HD+primarily to read PDFs, so I wouldn't want to lose the big thumbnail navigation just to get a new ROM on the device.

What about moving apps to the sd card? Someone on another forum with a Nook HD was trying to do that and couldn't find any way to do it. I recommended app2sd but she said it wouldn't work on her native HD. maybe with the sideloading thing?
It's probably not as much of an issue with the 16 GB HD+ now but my HD is only 8 gb so pushing some of those lesser-used apps to the card is nice.
I have 16gb on my HD so I haven't had to worry about space internally. However, there is a way to swap the system names of the internal storage and sd card so that downloaded apps go onto the card. I believe there are some limitations and caveats, so you'll have to do your homework on it before deciding if its for you.

The solution is by leapinlar at xda. He offers the mod in the same thread where I got my mods for rooting and sideloading, and it can be done for either stock ROM or devices with CM10.1/CM10.2. Look at the first post, item #4:

leapinlar is very good about answering questions and helping out if you get stuck on things.
