I'm looking at getting a basic e-reader, and I like the Nook touch better than the Kindle touch (just played with them a bit at the stores, no extensive experience with either).

I'm wondering about how to make it more of a vendor-neutral reader, though: If I want to read a kindle book on a nook, it seems that there are two approaches: Get a converter program, convert the book on my computer than load it on the nook. Root the nook, add amazon app to it.

If anyone does either of these with a Nook touch, I'd like to hear recommendations.

If I root the nook, does that affect the way that it displays nook books as well? Is format conversion more of a hassle than it's worth?

Thanks!
