Am I right in thinking that magazines, if I subscribed to them, would be PDFs?

I realise that internet browsers are sluggish with e-ink but it would be nice to know it was possible to find and download fresh titles if needed.

I have a rooted Sony Reader PRS-T1, and I can do everything you mentioned, and more. It's great!

However, rooting and modifying the PRS-T1 took quite some time and nerves, and definitely is not for the fainthearted. Some prior experience with Android is recommended. If you're confident, these pages should get you started:

The other Android-based e-ink reader that has an active development community is the Nook Simple Touch. It has development forums here:

Good luck!
