Barnes and Noble has likely introduced a new hardware revision which bricks your unit if you install their official 1.0.0 Firmware (A step needed to root). As of right now, Nooks with serial #s starting with 1003 (running firmware 1.4.1) cannot be rooted, and should NOT be attempted. See New_Hardware_Revision for more details

Calibre
Calibre is a book organization/conversion program which is very useful to people with ebook readers and large sideloaded libraries.
2.4.1 Softroot/ROM
2.4.1 Changed the vendor ID of the nook, this causes Calibre to stop seeing the nook and its inserted media card. This can be fixed with relatively little effort thanks to some sleuthing by jfeise.
These Instructions Should Work on Any Platform NEWS: This vendor ID will be added to the next version of Calibre
Steps
1. Find calibre/devices/nook/driver.py, on ubuntu this is at:
/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/devices/nook/driver.py
2. Once you have this file, set the VENDOR_ID to the following
VENDOR_ID = [0x18d1]
3. Restart Calibre, un-plug and re-plugin your nook.
