QUOTING BFOLLOWELL HERE:
"Also, nothing against these boards at all but this isn't the place to post for root help. If you really need advice, you need to register on and use the xda-developer forums. Make certain to post questions in the Q&A forum and you'll likely have no end of help."
I wanted to add this to this to the top of this thread because there are so many different versions of the B & N Nook out there now, they all use different methods to root. BFOLLOWELL is correct, if you are looking to root head over to the xda-developers site for all the info you'll need ;-).

Reason: OLD INFO
so I got my new Nook Tablet last night, followed the instructions above to root
Love it, I can now read library books via Overdrive, video streaming is beautiful, it feels a little lighter than the nookcolor... selling my nookcolor on ebay for over $100 makes the tablet definitely worth upgrading to!
i'm a guy who didn't finish high school, traveled and worked thru out the world started and sold three publishing co. was consultant to ucsd and a large newspaper chain. Now in my late 70s am in awe of whats going on in the android market place and want to learn all about it. maybe this will be my next career. i have a nook color that is rooted and want to see how far i can take it . I have so much to learn and i love reading about what you guy are accumplishing. I will be reading and probing.

GO for it ... I love hacking Now my NT has BN, Amazon and Android market. I can do all kinds of stuff with it. I will also point out when I did the 'root' I didn't think it worked so I tried running it again. It came back saying that my unit was already 'rooted' but it asked if I wanted to apply the patch to keep the new BN update OTA to happen. I did and so far no crappy update
I rooted the other day and have both amazon and google marketplace. I was using go launcher but someone suggested using nook color file manager in google app store, now i can bring the apps to the main screen with my other stuff.
Does this still work since the latest update. Just bought my wife a NT and she's pissed she has re-buy apps that she's already gotten for free off the market on her phone.

Cuda
Can't she just add her rooted NT to her Google account and then download the apps onto her NT?

Tell me more. I haven't really played with it yet. I can't imagine how pissed she's gonna be if she finds out she's been doing it wrong the while time. LOL.
