What does concern me is the freedom to structure my book collection the way that I choose (for which directory-based hierarchies suit me perfectly), and the freedom to choose whatever reading app that I find most comfortable. This level of customisation appears to be impossible with newer Kindles (Amazon is going to increasing lengths to render them unrootable). This for me makes the T62 (and better yet, the T62+) superior to the Voyage, regardless of price.

Yes. Rooted or not, the T62 is far more customizable than the Voyage (or other Kindles) would be. It's much easier to set up the T62 to suit the needs of each user, whatever they may be.
It's too bad that eInk devices based on a relatively recent version of Android are hard to come by in the USA. Ordering from Banggood or something similar is the only option now. If I were an executive at Nook, I'd revise the Glowlight. I'd give it the physical buttons and microSD card slot it used to have, give it firmware based on KitKat (at least), and make it open or at least easy to root. Then the Nook would have something to offer versus Kindle.
