Yes, it's functional (and I never suggested it's buggy), but so much more could be done with this hardware with better software. It was same with the 6" e-readers. The Sony UI was solid and functional, but sadly lacking in advanced features. PRS+ made the UI what it should have been.

I don't think so. I doubt the device will be hacked because it is so expensive and there are so few of the devices out there. I think it is targeted at and purchased by a very small market who have very specific needs (i.e. an e-ink pdf reader). Sony could sell a lot more of these devices if they made the software more flexible (i.e. open Android).
