I've recently bought this device as it's great in the UK for using with Overdrive to borrow ebooks from Libraries direct without plugging it into a computer however, I'd like to improve its performance as on my device the dictionary is useless (compared to my Kindle (which can't access UK Library eBooks) and it always causes the device to freeze/crash.

My questions are as follows (I have tried searching for answers on this forum and the wider internet but, have been unsuccessful in finding a solution that I feel comfortable trying).

1. Is it possible to fix the dictionary without rooting?

2. It is currently running the latest firmware (1.0.07), is it still possible to root this device and install alternative firmware/reading apps/dictionaries - does this improve its performance and would an app like Overdrive for Android work on the device?

Thanks for your help.
