To take advantage of the Android Marketplace, you'll need to root. B&N is hoping that people hold out on rooting and wait for the official update that adds the Nook Store, along with Flash support. Out of the box currently, it's not a full Android tablet. With a root, it gets unleashed and does a whole lot more.
By rooting, you can pretty much kiss your warranty and tech-support bye-bye. But, I've found that the active communities for rooted devices work better than the call centers in India.
The storage capacity shouldn't pose too much a problem. I haven't run out of room with the apps and books and such that I've procured. And, worse comes to worse, a quick SD swap rectifies the problem.
