I have visited the Gmail mobile site with my nook, but have not sent an email through it as yet. However, I *have* used my nook to post updates on both mobile Twitter and mobile Facebook sites, so I'm sure it would work just fine with Gmail.
There is not a physical keyboard on nook, no, but there is a little touchscreen keyboard that pops up on the LCD navigation touchscreen when you need it. Works fine, but I doubt you'd really want to type any long emails or replies with it. Also a little awkward for entering complicated passwords... but you can have nook remember passwords for you I believe. At least I think that option has come up! I'm just too security conscious to have anything, including my home computer do that.
However, I really don't use the WiFi much for the web, so maybe someone else can chime in for doing email through nook. I can't see that it would be a problem though.
I chose nook primarily because of the option for library borrowing, which I definitely use! Saves lots of money over buying everything!
