Yes if you standardized on one reader like Aldkio you could store all your books in one directory.
However most multi-format readers like Alkdio and Moon+ have the ability for you to navigate to a directory and import them into the reader.
I do remember your post when you tried the NC. I know it wasn't for you. It has some downsides and is not a tablet, but a lcd reader that does some tablet type things. I realize this, and I do really like the NC and would probably root it if I bought one just as I did that with my Nook Classic.

You can get the tab at Best Buy for $499 w/o contract. Also rumors have it that a WI-FI model is in the works. I'd imagine that device might be cheaper than the $499 3G model.

I was just hoping I could kill two birds with one stone.
Maybe the NC would work (if I had wifi available).
I really love the idea of the NC for reading, and I want to use this mainly for night time reading. Do they have wifi enabled on the NC testers at either B&N or Best Buy?

Most mobile sites have a link at the bottom of the pages that say switch to full version.
However you can change the behavior of the android app to load the full site by default. Also what you can do is download the Dolphin HD browser which by default loads the full site and you can use the default browser to launch the mobile sites.
My personal preference is to load up the mobile sites, they are faster and have less "ads" than full fledged sites.
Apps like paypal are reported to work on both the NC and Samsung, however you cannot use the PIN features since neither of these phones have a phone number. (No loss really on my phone I do not user the pin feature because it's so easy to get your phone stolen/lost)
