I have a Nook Color which I hacked to run the Android tablet software off an SD card, and I can FINALLY use it for fanfiction the way I always wanted to.

As it was, it was great for reading for fanfic that I'd saved either off LJ, or off AO3 and other places, and that was super easy to do, and looked nice. The main problem there was that I had no file magagement capabilities directly on the Nook (I wanted to be able to move or delete stories as I read them.)

NOW - I use MoonReader+ (app) which DOES allow me to move, rename or delete files on the fly. AND with Dolphin Broswer, I can actually download stories directly ON the Nook that I can then read offline.

I LOVE it!

For MoonReader+ then, do I need to hack my e-reader or tablet?

I believe you do. It's an Android platform app. I'm not sure if it would work on an unhacked Nook Color or not - several Android apps do, but because B&N set it up that way, so it's the ones they want.

Hacking it isn't all that hard, it just takes a little research, an SD card, and about an hour or so. I could find the link I used if you (or anyone reading) is interested.
