Hello,
it's Christmas day, and I've rooted my new PRS-T1, and I would just like to thank porkupan and these forums. I rooted it because I wanted a comic (b&w manga) reading app, and I've installed Perfect View and everything seems hunky dory. I previously updated the firmware to 1.something3something (the latest) in XP, but I did the rooting using Linux. This is now my first Android device, and beside reading manga, I have no idea what to do with the rooted part.
Happy Holidays to all who care about that sort of thing (not that there's anything wrong with that).
