I'm a simple guy but I'm not totally clueless in the tech world. I run linux on my home PC, and have some experience with the command line, though I'm my no means a geek. With my droid razr there is a forum that unlocks, hacks ...... all kinds of stuff.
I went to it when Verizon had a new update for the razr. I wanted to find out if there were problems before I installed it. So there were all kinds of posts with people complaining about it, or afraid to install it because they had unlocked their phone.
I went ahead and installed it and it was smooth as silk, and still is. Now, coming to this forum I find that there is some sort of equivalent behavior with ereaders. I don't understand all of this stuff about "jailbreaking", unlocking ....... I run a stock kindle and H2o, and so far so good. What is so special about changing the design of these devices that engineers worked on for reliability and smooth function ? Advantages, and potential disadvantages ?
