I'm brand new to the mobile reader/Android device world, so I'm reading all I can while I'm waiting for my new pocket eDGe to charge before I mess with it. I've read many recommendations to root, seen links for ways to root, etc. But no explanation of what rooting is or does. I'd love it if someone would explain- Thanks!
