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

Kindle!
If you're going to read or buy from Amazon and you want an eink reader, it's the best choice.
To support my argument
-You now have support for public libraries
-Better customer support
-Ability to return books if you don't like it or made a mistake (you can with B&N but it's a pain )
-Landscape mode on wifi and keyboard models
Please, don't root eink or tablet devices. Get a device that you want or like from the very beginning. You will be a slave or future unsupported patches that keep breaking every time B&N release a new firmware.
Some advantages if you buy a Nook though ...
-Ability to read ebooks for free, 1 hr I think, in store
-More feedback or customer support with initial buy, due physical store with B&N representatives (although this can be a lottery)
Not because I own a Kindle, but after Amazon released the public library feature plus reduced the price of several of their models, I no longer see major advantages of getting a Nook, besides supporting B&N stores and their brick stores, of course.
