Are you sure it's ChatGPT that has it all wrong? Because I asked for a second opinion from Gemini. Wait, you're gonna love this...

Can RMSDK be installed on a PRS-T2?
Gemini:
The short answer is no, you cannot directly install RMSDK on a Sony PRS-T2. Here’s why:
It’s a Development Kit: RMSDK is intended for developers, not end-users. It’s a collection of libraries and code that needs to be compiled and integrated into the e-reader’s firmware.
Firmware Integration: The RMSDK is deeply embedded within the e-reader’s operating system (firmware). It’s not a standalone application that you can simply install.
Proprietary: Adobe’s DRM technology is proprietary and requires licensing agreements with device manufacturers. The PRS-T2 already has the licensed and integrated Adobe RMSDK version that Sony chose to include in the original firmware.
No User-Installable Version: Adobe doesn’t provide a user-installable version of RMSDK. The technology is designed to be implemented by the device manufacturer.
PRS-T2 Already Has It: The PRS-T2 already comes with a version of RMSDK pre-installed to handle Adobe DRM-protected books."
Part 2:
Gemini: "What Problem Are You Trying to Solve?"
The problem of not being able to have additional fonts with the sony PRS-T2. Someone told me that I can install the extra fonts using RMSDK, and that it is, quote, "easy to do". And also perfectly safe. Are they full of BS or what?
Yes, with all due respect to the person who told you that, they are absolutely full of BS. It is completely inaccurate and misleading to suggest that you can install extra fonts on a Sony PRS-T2 using RMSDK, and that it’s easy and safe.
Let’s break down why:...."
JSWolf:
You just use Modify ePub to add the extra CSS code to all of the ePub you want and voila. The code will NOT brick your T2 and it will work. The T2 has the same version RMSDK that the T1 has. The non-trivial bit and the bit about bricking are 100% BS.
Ok, I said this in my very first post on this query, my very last post, and in between: I
do not, that's
NOT, want to inject code into hundreds or thousands of my ePubs and PDF files. I also said I didn't want to debate my choice. So I thought that was perfectly clear, by now. Because you said I wouldn't have to, with your "RMSDK" hack. Now you're saying different.
Thank you for you offer of code, but no thank you. I have no intention of messing with all my hundreds of ePub files, trying to inject code for two dozen fonts into each one, then erasing them from my reader and its sdCard, then rebuilding the entire library in my reader and SDcard with the same books.
As I said, I want to be able to choose different fonts on the fly, for different e-books, from a menu. Just like you can do on the Sony's standard reader app. Just like you can do in Coolreader, FBReader, etc.
If you have to try and hack all of your ePubs to do this, then simply put,
it's not worth it. For one, it could mess things up royally in all your books and even if all goes well it will, at the very least, take up more space on your limited storage. Might as well get a crappy e-reader like the Kobo (or worse, Kindle), in that case, if you can't root your Sony.
As I said, my goal was not just to add more fonts. I just wanted, and still want, either rupor's AMR files, or the password to his files, so I can root my late firmware Sony T2. Which gives access to much more than fonts, but kerning and other formatting options.
Quoth:
"All the LLM chatbots often produce plausible junk, and use a massive amount of energy and cooling water to do it. "
Holy jeepers, you couldn't possibly be more wrong in what you say, once again. ChatGPT has helped me with everything from amplifier repair to my medical issues. And I can say this much: it has helped me more to get those elusive AMR T2 exploit files I've been after than anyone on this forum.
As to this ridiculous environmental argument, I'm sure you go to work every day in a car. Most people do, despite the harm to the environment. Like a million other things people do, such as producing and disposing trash, that is not beneficial to the environment. At any rate, you're not going to convince anyone on earth to stop using AI on the basis that they are ruining the planet. So I don't know why you're trying.
"There are ereaders I've used and between 5 and 10 years the battery dies. Eventually the ereader is so old that the replacement batteries (actually an LiPoly cell) are really old and you might get 3 months to a year."
My T2 is from 2012 and going strong on the original battery. Do the math. You got it wrong again. And as I already said yesterday, it's like $12 to buy a new battery for the Sony Reader. You can't afford $12 or what exactly are you complaining about here?
"The T2 is a nice ereader, but now ancient, maybe the best 6″ Sony based on Android. "
Waddaya know, wrong again. Let's not make this a habit, Qoth. The Sony PRS-T3 (which I also have), is widely considered to be the best Sony Android reader. And to some, the best Sony reader period, for its screen resolution, color, speed, and compact size. Can't run Coolreader on it, though. So it's of little use to me.
Oh looky-look, Good E-Reader reviewed it again only a year ago, and says it still holds up today:
