I've got my eye on a Nook Classic, but it needs to be able to at least handle the following things. If the Classic doesn't work, I'll consider the Simple Touch, but I really like the replaceable battery.

* Can you open up this doc and page through it at a reasonable speed? Note that you'll probably have to decompress on your PC first.

* Does it really become a normal Android 1.5 tablet after rooting? Like with a command shell and/or whatever 1.5 app you want to use? Or are there restrictions?

* Does it charge only through the USB port?

* Is the charge time longer when USB charging vs. wall+USB charging?

* Can you browse this HTML tree? Start with how\index.html (I removed all PDFs)

* Are there native or free DOC/DOCX/XLS/XLSX editors? Viewers?
