So I can easily upload compiled apps to device and try inside real Pocketbook.

It's not perfect - but the best you can get.
kacir recently pointed to a ftp server that runs on the new devices, so it doesn't require root to run it: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...92&postcount=2

Personally, I use sshd on the device to accomplish the same thing, which also doesn't require root privileges to run. So, there are other options. Having root access is nice, but the newest firmware has many new features that those old ones don't. With utelnetd to give me a nice shell login, I find that I haven't missed root access since I upgraded the firmware.
