I finally rooted my nook color. I haven't really used it extensively, but if you have any questions in particular, i can try to answer them for you (or find out first hand).
some apps don't work right. youtube is not working for me (known issue with the rooting process, i just haven't cared to fix it). If an app runs, I don't see anything running noticeably slow. I really just use it to read. I think the battery life is good enough as long as you keep wifi off. I am also able to keep the brightness all the way down, so I am sure that helps. The one complaint witht he NC is the lack of buttons. There are ways around it (softkeys), but i find it a bit cumbersome. --mat On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 12:57 PM, Richards Jr, Edward C. <ecricha...@fbd.com > wrote: > That's crazy.
