Great news, I am currently on the fence (and likely to topple over very soon) to getting a prs 600 - but the customization is something I love about other devices (not ereaders, comps, phones, etc)

Question: Would you have to install the open inkpot to get the most out of it (that is still largely in development, and not too practical yet, I take it?) or does this make it seem like people will come out with very easy (and safe) firmware hacks to allow you to customize, add applications, etc...

For me, must haves: multi-language translators, a clock, short-cut tap zones, wikipedia or encyclopedia support, more reference books that can be downloaded and cached in general.

Quick Q: does anyone know the best link for the text only wikipedia you can download, or the approximate size? Been looking around a bit, feel like it should be easier to find.
