Hi, Thanks again for all of your input. I purchased a Nook Simple Touch and just received it in the mail. I was just wondering what root procedure you followed, and that is up to date.
I see that there are several -- including NookManager and TouchNooter -- just curious what worked best for you. Thanks again.

Sony T2s can be found on ebay cheap. They can be rooted if the FW version is not too old, but the Nook is a much better e-ink tablet.
Also consider an old Sony prs-650. Should be cheap. They can read pdfs if you install prs+.
Don't know about Kindles. They have a big user base with lots of hacks. The old Touch had a great screen.
The Kobo glo can also be rooted (you overwrite the OS).

It is the only one I've found that lets me go full-screen with no margins. The UI is simple and does what I want.
With open Android, there a lot of choice and no restrictions. The Nook ST is awesome if you can still get one. Definitely the cheapest way to get a rock-solid e-ink tablet. Best and cheapest e-reader I've ever owned. It never crashes. I couldn't go back to a "normal" e-reader now.
