  2. I upgraded my Color Nook to the new software and cruised the app store. Fairly useless, IMHO. A calendar and notepad program. Lots of children’s books, a couple of others that I wouldn’t pay for.

    I haven’t rooted my Nook yet, but I might, just to see if there’s something I can use out there. But it does a fine job of playing movies, music and reading books, which is good enough for the moment.
