Firstly, thanks to Rupor for his great rooting kit
I've managed to squeeze a lot of my favourite apps onto my reader:
aCalendar
Amazon Kindle
BBC News (the best BBC news reader - great in landscape mode)
ConvertPad
Crossword Solver
DiskUsage
K9 emailer
Market (the version from the wiki
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRST...rket_Procedure)
Poweramp
RealCalc
Root Explorer
Rotation Locker
Scrabble Helper
Smart Bar (the version from this thread - the latest says it's incompatible on Play Store)
Terminal Emulator (vital for running fix_persmissions)
Titanium Backup Pro (although batch scenarios listing text doesn't not show)
Tube Master (London Underground status app)
Wikidroid
Wordplay (surprisingly playable on the eInk screen)
All you need for proper day to day use
Just missing a contacts viewer.
