Is it worth getting the Nook to be rooted versus just getting a TF Prime that has more features?

I guess it comes to budget and preference about what fits for you I guess.

Ok so this might be a stupid question. But can you still switch SD cards or does the Sd with the root have to stay in the system the whole time? Please and thank you
