A good suggestion. Something worth doing.

These e-book readers fall right into the niche between large smart phones and small tablets.
There is a place in the consumer marketplace for this size of device.

We can hope for a change in Amazon corporate policy. Getting them to add up the cost of trying to keep the Kindle "Closed" may help their decision making.

Or our finding a manufacturer of a reasonable alternative at a reasonable price who thinks differently about building an 'Open Device' for the general public.
There is and it's Kobo. No need to jailbreak it, to create a custom update package you just need to make an archive called KoboRoot.tgz, and it will install on the device.
