Just got mine. It's Android 4.2, but you can't do anything with it... The "App store" branded "The Good E Reader" is restricted to minimum apps. The main disappointment for me is the impossibility of using GoogleDrive (which worked on my android 2.3 rooted nook a few months ago before the update !! And I can still manage KinsoftOffice, which isn't the case of this last trend e-reader)...

Does anyone know if the device can be rooted ? I know it's pretty early but it's either that or I give it back in the 14 days... I wonder if this protocole is workable for the XL : http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/sh...d.php?t=245888
