I have not tried that because I want to stay with my rooted reader, but there seems to be a way to enable ADB on non-rooted readers too, which should handy for many things:
At first you have to run testmode app. It is installed on every stock reader and can be invoked via
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRST...ering_Testmode
With testmode you can
- dump system log to a text file for troubleshooting
- do factory reset
- boot into recovery mode (provided that you have recovery root file system on internal or external sd card)
- brick your device by hitting buttons you do not know what they are for, so be carefull!
And there is a
Switch ADB button in testmode app - guess what it does
With ADB enabled, you can access the reader via ADB shell as described here:

Now, you should be able to do things like installing apps without having to root the device!
Code:
adb install myshinynewapp.apk
Of course, you will need an app launcher to run custom apps...
Also you may do battery recalibration by
Code:
adb shell rm /data/system/batterstats && reboot
