Hello! I'm in the process of choosing my very first ereader, and am seriously considering the Sony PRS T-1, provided, however, that I can get it to connect seamlessly to a number of ebook stores and read all formats (including azw).

So... it boils down to rooting. However, looking around the web, I found a few comments that are pulling me back.

* I understand that the rooted device has so far been rather unstable. Has the most recent root solved this issue? Is it not a useable rooted device?

* How difficult is the rooting process? I'm no geek or techie, but I can follow instructions, and like to play around (and am aware of the risks I run). Do you think noobs can do this?

* Have you been able to get the device to partially refresh the screen when reading, or is this still just a web/market feature?

* Finally, have you found that by installing the kindle app, readers such as coolreader, etc., the experience of getting (and buying) books is as streamlined and seamless as with, say, a kindle or a nook? I'll be using this for travel - meaning sideloading will lilkely not be possible if I want something on a whim, and meaning that I won't want to spend too much time getting the book to show up.


Thanks!
