The stock NC doesn't have a file management system, so you can't delete/move/rename anything. A computer is required for such tasks.

Hey Scion long time no talk

I'm confused by your statement. what are you referring to in terms of you can't move/rename or what have nots.

I went in to "My Library" "My Shelves" and there is an Edit that allows you to rename your shelves, you can remove books from them and put them on another shelves etc.

and this is stock nook color UI

Hey You! Thanks for allowing me to clarify. I'm not referring to shelves, just files and folders.

A downloaded file goes into the "My Downloads" folder. You can't move it someplace else. If you sideload something to the wrong folder (Music instead of Books or Documents, as an example), you can't move it. You can't delete or rename files. It's nice that you can create folders and subfolders using a computer, but on the device you can't shuffle stuff around, rename, or delete when needed.

The point of "rooting" it is to not use the B&N software, so how will the update effect you? Do the Windows Updates effect your use of the Mac?

Yes, the B&N updates may break root on your device, depending on which root version you're using*. However, there are ways around that, as explained in several other threads on this forum, or over at the xda-developers Nookcolor sub-forum.


* (Some versions of rooted software run from the external SD card, which is not affected by B&N updates)
