    The ebay deal is expired so this is the best price you can get one of these right now. Just in case anybody is confused this is NOT the Nook that can be rooted with Android to be made into a decent tablet. For that you need the Nook Color, not the Nook eReader (with color).

    no you can't get free 3g if you hack these. there are some good reasons to hack it though:

    Trok. This application lets you not only browse news feeds but connects to many free book repositories for online browsing. You can request the books and they are downloaded right into your nook for reading. This is a must-have app and is one reason to consider rooting your nook.
    Web Browser. This isn't a very compelling story yet. While it works it seems the greyscale rendering of web pages often produces pages that don't quite "fit" and the contrast isn't great for easy viewing. Personally, I'd prefer my iPhone over what I've seen.
    My Books. This is like "My Library" but puts your B&N and your Documents in one list - what a novel idea eh? It supports the cover flow for all your books but looks buggy to me. It allows you to sort by date of file, author, and title. Unfortunately, it doesn't sort by last read - which the B&N application does only for B&N books. This application would be another great reason to root your nook, but needs some additional work in my opinion.
    Pandora. I guess using your nook as a streaming audio application sounds appealing. It's the only application I've seen that's a bit harder to install. Your nook battery would probably last four hours. I'd just use my computer or iPhone.
    New Launcher. The new launcher application has the old icons, which is good news to some people. It is configurable so you can put just the items you want on your nook menu screen. It looks very well done and is a nice feature B&N should consider.

    Shmeagle actually yes you can hack it. in case you are confused the nook (classic) and nook color can both be hacked. both run android and both can be rooted.
