I must have misunderstood then. Yes, next time I'll buy a different brand if the current one disappoints me too much. Given that people seem to say the business model is to sell books, not readers - that's real bad news for the vendor.

Rooting my $129 tiny e-ink reader to accommodate PDF flow? No, thanks. Maybe for other purposes, but not that. I'd rather get the right tool for the job in the first place if I had to deal with PDFs.

No need to root - not even sure the concept is valid, and you can return them to original any time you want. Running different firmware, on the devices I mentioned, is as simple as putting new firmware on them by placing it on the SD card and booting in a different mode that loads the "upgrade". Straying to far OT though, sorry
