I use a rooted Nook ST. Its very good to read simple text pdfs in landscape mode. I use Orion reader. It is a great reader. Install Relaunch on it.

Sony T2s can be found on ebay cheap. They can be rooted if the FW version is not too old, but the Nook is a much better e-ink tablet.

Also consider an old Sony prs-650. Should be cheap. They can read pdfs if you install prs+.

Don't know about Kindles. They have a big user base with lots of hacks. The old Touch had a great screen.

The Kobo glo can also be rooted (you overwrite the OS).
