I know we're going off topic. Anyway, there is a way to root the nook and disable the B&N stuff. I am not posting direct links, but you can look for the xda-developers forums, they have a section about the nook touch and you can download a rooting tool that works (of course, with no warranty) on the Nook Simple Touch with the latest firmware (1.2.x). My understanding is that it's not a fully free solution, but one can fork project on github. I have briefly browsed it and it's a mix of the original B&N code, cyanogen mod and other stuff. Not ideal, but better than what comes by default. My aim is to root the device with the tool and once I've understood the process I want to try and use replicant. I will keep you posted in case I get replicant to work on the Nook, but don't expect anything in the immediate future.
