@mrspaceman: I saw your thread, but I was not sure, if the Homescreen was a separate program. I won't shy away from rooting my device. I'll definitely keep a look out for your homescreen replacement, because I have learnt early on, with Sony Readers you buy a hardware, the real software comes, once the great people here get the readers in their fingers
@jackie_w: The PRS 600 had it, too, very useful. I guess either you scroll around with the slidebar or you use the search, both slower.
