I use the Journal primarily, although I also installed MaplePaint from the enTourage app store (it's essentially a colour version of Journal and runs on the LCD side). Only 2 apps work on the Reader side - the eBook reader and Journal. Any other app you install is limited to the LCD side and has no interactions with the Reader side.

As for the Bluetooth File Transer app, I'm not sure it requires root access. I've also used the ES File Explorer that has BlueTooth transfer capabilities. The limited BT file transfer stuff I've tried didn't require root access...

If you're considering rooting your eDGe, be advised that you may void your warranty & support, and possible be unable to get upgrades. Of course, it may all be just fine, but it's a risk you take.
