How to root a Nook Touch

From Liliputing:

OK, so you know that the new Barnes & Noble NOOK Touch eBook reader has abuilt-in web browser and you know it’s possible to root the Android device andinstall third party apps. But how do you do it yourself?

The folks at NOOK Devs have put together a set of step by step instructionswhich you can follow from a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer.

All you need is a NOOK Touch, a 128MB or larger Class 6 microSD card, a computer, and a WiFi connection for the NOOK Touch. Oh yeah, you’ll also need to be willing to break your warranty, because if something goes wrong, don’t expect Barnes & Noble to simply take back the broken eReader without asking any questions (although you mgiht get lucky).
