Already does. nook-devs.com IIRC. I'm running it with the Android
development kit for access to the system filesystem.

I found it easy to get used to fairly quickly myself. Another *huge*
advantage is that many e-books can be viewed in their entirety if you go
to a B&N physical store - for up to an hour a day. And free wireless at
places with AT&T wifi (if you don't have the 3G version, which I don't)
is pretty cool. Like Kindle, with the 3G option, you don't have to pay
anything extra for access (the device just costs $50 more, and I have
wifi pretty much everywhere I go these days).
I do wish the USB cable was longer - I'm using an extension with mine.
The 'standard' cable is about 5' long, which isn't long enough to reach
the nearest outlet to the bed if I want to read in bed while charging. I
also wish the USB port wasn't on the bottom of the device.
