I have done both, actually. If you boot off an SD card-based OS, you lose nothing and you can easily switch between them by simply popping out the SD card (or swapping them, if you have another for your Nook to use for books).

I've since just installed it straight onto the Nook's internal (eMMC) memory and used an SD card to store data (podcasts, etc.) and we never bothered going back to the Nook's stock OS. Installing over the eMMC memory does remove the Nook's stock OS, though.. but then we didn't need it and it's pretty useless.

On the other hand, there *IS* a Nook app on the market, so you could always just install it and still have access to your books again. PLUS--you HAVE to imagine that it's just wrong but awesome to see the Amazon Kindle app running on a Nook right alongside the Nook app. Talk about flexible!
