I've rooted tablets before but that was getting rid of Nook's version of Android and putting Cyanogenmod on instead. I'm happy with the ereader and any ereader apps I've tried through GP I find a fiddly pain so I'd really like to just change the buttons and nothing else.
Thanks
In your case, rooting simply gives you more flexibility/control over what you now have. You won't see any changes whatsoever, except for an icon for the Superuser or SuperSU app. If you want to do more, you can. But rooting itself won't give you different firmware.
