True, but I didn't want tablet functionality when I bought the PRS-T1 two years ago. I don't want to buy a tablet, mainly because I don't like the idea of having/buying too much devices with only slightly different functionality. A laptop, smartphone and e-reader are more than enough for now. I'd also like to get away from backlit-screens from time to time.
There were two reasons why I rooted it: firstly, I wanted to be able to synchronize research papers to a native cloud app (the web browser is slow, as is to be expected). Secondly, I wanted to run the Amazon Kindle app since I've recently bought a couple of ebooks on Amazon that Calibre couldn't convert properly. I feel like I should have the right to freely choose both were I buy my ebooks and on which device I read them, especially considering the relatively high cost of some.
The rooting procedure seemed well documented, and if it ultimately bricks my device, so be it. I wouldn't try to root if I didn't have the means to buy a new one.
However, I would be very happy if I found a way to fix the wireless and avoid giving in to my desire for new technological toys. ;-)

Unfortunately, this is not it. Nothing happens when I try setting up a new connection, it just keeps on scanning for networks endlessly. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
