My problem is, however, when I mount the Iliad as a USB drive, the topmost directory seems to be the one containing the content folders (newspapers, books, notes, etc.) Am I in some sort of chroot jail?

The USB connection only exposes the internal storage area (with books, docs, notes, news). Which makes sense, as exposing / would be a disaster for most people.
The best way to go is to install the unbrikcable package. Then you connect to your network (automatically using cable and dhcp at boot), and you can then ssh to the iliad (using rootme as password), change the password and/or set up ssh keys for easier login.
If you don't want to use cable, create a connect_to_my_wlan.sh containing something like "wireless.sh start <myssid> <mypasswd>" (detailed and correct instructions can be found somewhere in this forum), place it in e.g. "News" and run it.
Hope this helps
