It turned out to be pointless because my friend [lj user=0bsessions] pointed me towards the best solution: Nook2Android.
http://www.nook2android.com/faq/ It's a card that serves as a dual-boot. Since it costs about the same as the Class 6 card I'd be using anyway, I just got that. No worries about rooting the OS (although I still might at some point), all the space I need for comics, etc. Awesome!
Also, I might be able to convince one of my markets to pay for the Nook, so hooray! It's not just a toy I can write off on my taxes!
