The nook plus does not have an external storage card 
So the serial port is used to make the system changes manually.
(not unlike our running the 'standard' jb.sh script over the serial port on 5.6.x devices) |
I am not intimately familiar with the process, but from a cursory glance, I believe apps (including google market) can be installed on the new Nook without opening it or meddling with the hardware in any way. In any case, I only mention the Nook and added the link for people who might want a more customizable and open device and for whom therefore the Kindle would not be a suitable device.

Like the others have said, it is an ethics matter. No need to get upset.

I agree. It is probable that you will be able to JB the PW3 in the future (but not guaranteed), and as such, if you can return it and purchase a Kobo or a Nook Plus, that option may better suit your needs.
But if you do choose for whatever reason to keep the PW3, don't despair, and keep it in airplane mode, and be patient. The JB will probably come, but the author seems to be waiting on Amazon to release a FW patch.
