I've been lurking on this forum for a while, trying to absorb as much info as possible. All in all, it's be very educational. You guys are an excellent resource!

Now for the inevitable stupid question: what is the purpose of rooting the Vox? I bought mine to use primarily as an e-reader, but also for quick gmail and FB checks, etc. I've got some basic computer knowledge, but I'm not at all familiar with the concept of rooting.

So I guess I'm wondering a) what does it mean? and b) do I want/need to do it? I would like to use my Vox for more things if possible. Does rooting the Vox allow for that?

Thanks in advance for your patience with my stupid questions. It's been a steep learning curve for me.
