Mr. Rebates has 5% on B$N, to save another $8.45. Enjoy!

Got mine last week for $200. Shoulda waited. Fail.

Can you root these? I thought that it was no longer possible to do so. If so, anyone have a link to a walkthrough?

@crab: I don't see anything about not being able to root them anymore - Check out this link: http://androidforums.com/nookcolor-all-things-root/352768-nook-color-rooting-rom-guide-read-me-first.html

That's got guides for all versions of the B&N ROMs including the latest (1.4.1) on how to root them.

This is a sweet deal, but keep in a mind a newer one is about to be released. So if you care about having the latest greatest...

Keep in mind a Color and a Tablet are two different devices. The bootloader for the Tablet is not cracked at this time. An 8G tablet is $199 retail right now. The older model Color is fully cracked and is still a good tool. In fact many prefer it because of it's virtual unbrickability.

@crab I just did one last night/today, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443292 Go for 7.2.

The comment that I left just above with the link is true, but Yahoo! move the story and the link is no longer valid. Actual retail on the Nook Color is now $169. This is the price that will be available at all retailers.

B&N did just release the Nook Tablet with 8GB(1/2 the amount of the 249. model) for 199.

I prefer the microSD card MOD of the Color (up to 32GB). Running an Android Tablet with CyanogenMod while leaving the reader intact is the best of both worlds. If using a class 2 or 4 card and overclocking I see no difference in speed.

Here is another link to a story...

I have had mine for 8 months or so and rooted. 32gb Sandisk microsd, and it's amazing for reading comics, playing games, and basic web browsing. Works with netflix too.

Thanks for the comments. I had thought about getting the tablet, then saw all sorts of comments from other users that B&N had locked it down so that you couldn't root it. Assumed they had done the same w/ the color; apparently not.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
