Rooting a (Android) Reader allows you to install Android apps on it. For e-ink readers that means you can choose which App you want to read your books in, mostly. E-ink just isn't fast enough for most other things. There may be some other usefull things like a calendar, e-mail app, dropbox, ... (which apps actually work depends on the device) but you're not going to turn a reader into a tablet by rooting it.
As to which one is the best, I think the Nook Simple Touch is the e-ink reader where rooting works best right now. The other Android e-ink reader (Sony PRS-T1) is still fairly new and doesn't offer much space for apps without resizing the System partition.
