With koreader I reverse the screen to white (or orange) on black. I have sensitive eyes and this works brilliantly for me. I have other higher-spec readers, but it is the best for reading on that I've ever owned. As such, I will continue to buy Nook ereaders if they keep getting the hardware so spot on.
That's an old story, going back to when folks would hack their Nooks to add the Kindle app.

Do you buy books from them?

Because, if not, the only money they make off you is whatever markup they get on the hardware. Just as when folks outside the US were using reshippers to get the Nooks B&N refused to sell them.

Ten years and they've learned nothing...
