I don't recommend a Sony-T1 or T2 as a rooted e-ink reader. I rooted the T1 and found it pretty poor and limited. Indeed, later versions of the T2 firmware are unrootable.

If you can get it, the Nook STR makes a very robust e-ink tablet, but it has no front-light.

Europe / Russia / China produces a number of alternatives that are / may be rootable. Some are even open Android out-of-the-box.
