So I'm still thinking about it. Do I do it or try to get an ePub compatible device? Any tricks for high amount of content (I have over 1100 books now, about 2GB). Thanks!

There will probably be a new Nook before too long, and there have been a lot of deals on the older models of late (e.g. used Nook Simple Touch is $50 on eBay). That's going to be your simplest option. Otherwise you will need to deal with the DRM and conversion issues, which is inconvenient at best.
At least to this point (unless it has changed with their new devices), Kobo and Sony have not seen fit to support B&N DRM (even though they are licensed to do so and it is near trivial to do so). I thought perhaps Pocketbook supported it but could not find any evidence that they do. It baffles me why they would not, particularly given B&N's current difficulties. My Entourage eDGE Jr (a three year old device) does support B&N DRM.
There are a number of options if you want to read your B&N ebooks on a tablet using third party apps.
