Just "root" it and install something
(relatively) open like CyanogenMod. I turned a Nook Color from a useless brick (I
haven't read fiction in ~30yrs) to a tablet that I use every day thanks to that
approach.

The Asus tf300 is a different beast. I realize there are roms you can substitute (and
haven't heard of that one, previously preoccupied with Zenithink, thanks), but you
could brick your tablet in the process, as well as void your warranty. I will root mine
prior to the year mark. A bit queasy about swapping out roms though. I'll at least
have to see if it's been done on my unit.
Is yours the original Nook or the Nook tablet (not the latest)? Are you delving into A*
at all?

Ahh. I'd probably not have bought one, then. ;)

Depends on what you mean by "delving". I'm not doing any app
development of any sort; I use it as an appliance. I usually keep it in
the lab with its SDcard loaded with datasheets and instrument
documentation. I use it pretty much every day. Think "PADDs" in Star
Trek: TNG.
