The old Nook ST is good rooted. Much better than rooted Sony T1. You'll often need to find old versions of apps to run on it as the version of Android is 2.1. Great little e-ink tablet though. Stable as hell, super-hard to brick and dirt-cheap if you can find one.
Otherwise, you'll probably have to get a Kobo.
Personally, I'd get the Aura HD. It's 6.8", has the best screen available and a good light. You have to overwrite the existing OS with the Tolino OS, but it's a well-trod path so you should be okay.
Also the the Glo and the mini can be rooted in the same way. The light on the Glo doesn't go as low as one would like, but these lights can't be used in pitch-darkness anyway, so no big deal. I don't think the new Aura (6" non-HD) can be rooted as it lacks the internal / external (?) Sd-card slot.
Not sure of the Android version. Probably 2.3. So again you need to find old versions of apps and install them manually (i.e. not via Market).
alternatively you could get the new Onyx a lot of people are raving about. It's expensive and has to be imported from Europe, but runs a later version of Android. It's 6.8" and has the same excellent Aura HD screen. I believe the light doesn't go down as low as the Aura HD's. I think apps can d/led direct from Market, so easiest to use in that sense.
