Installing another app is not the same as rebuilding the thing from scratch. When you install another reading app on an ereader, it stays an ereader and will still do what it claims to do, only with more/other options.
I don't like installing other apps either, but it's a relatively minor effort and completely worth it if, for example, you have a particular favourite reading app that you are used to. I am not discouraging anyone from abstaining from a particular purchase, but informing them that some lack of this or that option out of the box can be easily circumvented, so that the purchase will still be worth it.
Then again, screen resolution is one of those things that no app can fix, so this is best taken into account before buying your gadget.
