We all have those sudden urges to buy some hot new piece of technology. Most of us don't however immediately void the warranty by hacking it. I don't happen to be one of those people. Having contemplated my purchase for a week or so, there was no way that I wasn't going to hack my Nook Color as soon as I had the wrapper off.
I don't feel any need to dive into an unboxing here, so I will save it. After having opened the box and tossing it aside, I went online and downloaded the version of autonooter for my Nook. The ten minutes that it took for autonooter to download was literally all the time that I spent using the stock Nook color. The rooting process is quite simple and took me less than fifteen minutes to do.
