I think you'll probably want to update your firmware:

go to to slatedroid if you want to root it and get more functionality.

the machine does not have a great reputation, but should be just fine as a reader. don't let all the negativity spoil your enthusiasm for such a thoughtful gift. at the very least, you have a serviceable reader. if you are adventurous, you have a fun project and toy to tinker with.

I'm thinking very seriously of getting the pocketbook IQ, which is another version of this machine (both are variants of the Pandigital novel).
