Damn it.

I rooted my Nook Touch this week. It worked perfectly! I got all the features I wanted, and it solved 98% of the annoyances I have with the device.

Then I found out that the last upgrade to the stock firmware fixed the remaining 2% that annoyed me. (Limitations in the built-in dictionary.)

Somehow in my attempt to put it back to stock so I could upgrade it, I broke it. Like, physically. The USB/charge port is kaput. Other than that it still works great, at least until the battery dies.

So, who else has managed to brick a gadget recently?

I've been thinking about getting a Nook and rooting it to use it as a tablet. Were you happy w/it as a tablet? As an e-reader? Can you read pdfs and epubs on it decently by enlarging the font, etc.? I love my Kindle K3 but pdf support sucks--can't really enlarge the font and no epub support at all. Any thoughts?

The touch pretty much sucks as a tablet. E-ink screens just can't refresh fast enough for most applications unless you're really patient.

In the past I've had the Nook Color and the Nook Tablet, and rooted both of them. They both work great as tablets once they're rooted, but the stock reader tends to lose functionality. Both times I had to load a 3rd party ereader app from an app store to get the reading experience back to a good level.

The stock nook app and most of the 3rd party apps do a great job with resizing fonts in epubs. I've only read a couple of PDFs on a nook, and don't remember if that was user friendly or not.

For info on rooting the newest non-eink nooks, try XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2034

There's bound to be some reviews of PDF reading on nooks on the B&N forums: http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/NOOK-Central/ct-p/NOOKCentral

I can tell you that a regular tablet, or a rooted nook, is more likely to give you a good reading experience for PDFs, just because you'll have so many PDF reading applications to choose from.

Thanks for the info. I really do appreciate it.

I haven't bricked it (yet...give me time) but the screen on my iPad is coming off in chunks after two spectacular accidents in which my ultra expensive case completely failed to protect it. The second was on deep pile carpet and the iPad would probably have been fine if A)the screen wasn't already cracked up and B)it hadn't landed flat, which I'm convinced jarred the cracked screen enough to begin dislodging chunks. I estimate it has about a month's worth of life left to it as long as I never take it out of the house again, never drop it on the carpet again, and don't otherwise manage to brick/break/set it on fire.
