Just speculating here...if you had root (so you could see the hidden partition) and loaded a file explorer app, could you then open epubs sideloaded to the B&N partition with the stock reader? Opening the file from within the file explorer?

I know you don't intend to root yours, and I don't plan to either (anytime soon anyway). As I said, just wondering. I haven't tinkered with an E-ink Nook since the Simple Touch. I really like that I could mess around with my Glowlight 3, but don't really have any compelling reason to. I don't keep much on my reader so the partition isn't an issue. I'd much rather browse what I have from my PC and load as needed.
