My question is: Will a rooted Nook work pretty good with the Amazon app so I can use all features available to the Nook + read the books from Amazon's purchases?

Which features will I miss by not getting the Kindle.

I have some archive books on my PC in .epub, .mobi(unDRMed), etc. and she's willing to use Calibre if neccesary.

I would appreciate your opinions and experiences(specially if someone uses the rooted Nook already).

Thanks
For library books, I would go with a T1. You can borrow library eBooks without needing to use a computer. Plus it can be rooted since it runs Android. It's quite a nice reader.
