A softrooted nook is a good thing. Much better than the silly e-slick I purchased. It seems to be a little more responsive than the Sony, but I only used the in-store demo.

The sony is MUCH BETTER at organizing content, however. Even with trook or nooklibrary, I am not thrilled with my options for the nook yet.

It is nice to be able to update wirelessly on the softrooted nook.

The best part about the nook is that it reads PDB, PDF, EPUB, Adobe Adept EPUB, and B&N EPUB. That's all the major ones but mobi (and the all-but-abandoned lrf and lit).

I wouldn't be too worried about warranty and softrooting. It is easy enough to undo, and it makes the nook an open platform. It's amazing what the nookdevs have done in 3 months. Can't wait to see all the apps available in the near future.
