Could someone who has some experience with the rooted nook touch please help out with this comparison??

Also, is it possible to convert a 2 column pdf to a 1 column pdf or an epub without garbling everything up??
Since you already have a Sony device, you might want to consider holding off a little bit to see how the new Sony Reader Wifi turns out.

There is some speculation that it also runs on Android, and if it does rooting is a possibility. Potential is greater than Nook STR rooted since the Sony Reader has all the hardware buttons required for Android, as well still being able to support the page turn buttons.

From the videos from IFA 2011 it seems it might work well with PDFs since they support multiple columns feature and pinch zoom.

I'm on the fence myself, but since the T1 has been officially confirmed by Sony I figured I can at least wait another month to see.
