Has anyone had any experience switching ebook ecosystems? I have a Kindle DX, but I think the GlowLight feature on the Nook is probably a killer feature for me. I don't own a great deal of Kindle books, and (honestly) the vast majority of my books are pirated.

However: I'm still a bit nervous about the purchase, especially because I'd buy a backlit Kindle in a minute. While Amazon is likely to introduce a backlit Kindle in the next year or so, but I also have arthritis, and it's hard for me to deal with my Kindle DX at some times. Help me make a decision?

If you bought new-release Kindle books, you can almost certainly get them onto a Nook or other reader: download them with one of the Amazon apps and then use Calibre + plugins to break the DRM/convert them, a quite simple process. (There are some Amazon books, scans of older ones basically, that it is a much bigger pain to convert.)
