So I unrooted them and have been happy with them as is as long as I don't overload them. Otherwise, they work find just as they are.
And I wasn't very impressed with CoolReader on the hacked Sony's. For the Tablets it's either Marvin or Aldiko for me.

You know, I probably told that story already, not sure, but I have a friend who was sharing a T2 with his wife just fine. Then I gave him my Cool Reader settings. Suddenly they were fighting over the T2 and finally got another one.
So now they have two. My settings made all the difference for them.
Entirely new and wonderful reading experience. When you say you tried Cool Reader - that does not mean you really tried enough.
Another thing about T2 (and all 6" readers) - it is much better to use landscape orientation with it. Not only it is more pleasant to read with wider margins and the usual text width as in printed books, but also the way you can hold it in your hand with the cover turned all the way back.
It just hangs on your fingers, you can have your hand relaxed fully. And no danger of dropping the reader whatsoever.
Let me describe it in detail:
Lets say, that your thumb is finger number 1, pinky - finger number 5.
Then you do this:
1 - on the front side, also used for next page
2 - on top of the reader, on the edge between the reader and the fully opened cover.
3 - inside between the reader and the cover, the reader is hanging on this finger
4 and 5 - outside the cover, they provide the stability, the cover is wedged between those fingers and the 3 finger.
Try this. Your hand is completely relaxed. And you are completely relaxed without any fear of dropping the reader.
So, it is very easy to have correct wide margins for landscape in Cool Reader.
You can even have a special profile for landscape.
But if you want landscape with the native Sony reader, and you - naturally - want 1 cm or wider margins in landscape - you need to modify .css file for each epub if you are using Sony native reader.
